Aircraft storage refers to the practice of parking and maintaining aircraft that are not currently in active service. This can occur for various reasons, such as seasonal demand fluctuations, economic downturns, or the retirement of older models. Proper storage helps preserve the aircraft's condition and ensures safety when they are eventually returned to service. There are different types of aircraft storage facilities, including open-air storage, hangars, and specialized storage sites. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on factors like climate, security, and maintenance needs. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to prevent deterioration during the storage period.
