How did Delta Air LInes awaken 570 dormant aircraft?
Airlines parked planes for months much like athletes going on injured reserve in baseball or football. Players have to go through extensive rehabilitation and so do these planes to get them ready to return to the field of competition. (www.freightwaves.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

well jeez, yeah, duh, if you strip parts of parked planes it's going to take a while to get it back running. But if you park it , drain the fuel, seal all openings and charge batteries once in a while I don't see a big problem getting it back to working condition. Boeing probably knows a thing or two about storing them. overhyped story.
Thank you, CCP. The world doesn’t appreciate your generous contribution to global misery.

Interesting reminder of the complexity of running an airline.
Certainly no small feat. It took 2 years at 14 hours a day for us to bring Wise Guy (B-52) back into service after hibernation... and that was just to get it into the air. It still had another 18 months of upgrades make it mission ready.
