What happens to planes grounded during COVID-19?

(Updated: )

With pandemic travel restrictions in place, where have planes like Singapore Airlines or AirAsia’s fleets gone? Here’s an exclusive look behind the scenes, at the complex operations to park hundreds of planes on taxiways, runways and cargo terminals at airports like Kuala Lumpur International and Singapore’s Changi Airport. 

About the show:

Airlines are facing an unparalleled challenge in aviation history – keeping their planes grounded, which is almost as complicated as keeping them in the air. What do airlines have to do to protect their planes as they go into suspended animation? We profile three aircraft engineers – the unsung heroes from regional airlines, SIA, PAL and AirAsia – as they undertake the unprecedented feat of keeping their fleet viable even as almost all travel is curtailed.
