  • The coronavirus has devastated the airline industry. U.S. air travel has dropped 95% compared to last year and the number of flights scheduled globally is down by 63%. More than 16,000 of the world’s commercial aircraft are grounded. These planes can’t just sit idle, they need routine maintenance and a place to be stored. And when you suddenly have thousands of planes with nowhere to go it becomes a logistical nightmare. Here’s a look at how airlines parks thousands of planes and the outlook for the grounded fleet.

      Above Wendover itself is boring and copies other RUclips channels can't see why it's so popular (that aren't basically one long advert). Already seen something similar to this including the fly over (which may in fact have been lifted from another channel that features a pilot flyover).
