I'm frankly getting fed up with all these CEO emails that say nothing of substance.
I took that as parked but you are right, it does not sound / is factually correct - unless all of the aircrafts touched-down in London and were then sent to be parked from here. Quite the mouthful.

I had to do a bit more research - "touch down" = When an aircraft touches down, it lands (per the Cambridge Dictionary), so sounds like he meant landed in London. Must have forgotten he runs an airline and had a few too many Rioja's in the lead up to the long weekend.
