DL and it’s regional partner has hundreds of aircraft parked throughout the country, as does nearly ever airline i the world.

Aircraft in “flight-ready” condition or rolling parking that fly at least every 1-2 weeks are primarily stored at the hubs either in closed gates, de ice pads, hangars, or other hard stand spots.

Aircraft in short or long term storage have been moved to locations that have both parking available and maintenance vendors available to perform the storage and maintenance procedures.

Most of these, particularly the ones that do long term storage are in the desert. However with demand for storage so high many other places have had to be used.

DL is using the following locations:
SBD, VCV, MZJ, MWH, QRO, ILN, BHM, MCI.

BYH did have a few A350s but those are back in service but it’s where all the MD88 and MD90 went to retire.

Skywest and Endeavor are using places like SLN, SGU, SBN, CWA to store aircraft.

DL has brought back over 100 aircraft in the past 2 months and more to come as the August schedule ramps up.

Most the 753s are back in service and a few A320s are back now too.
