Question for the group
Does anyone know what happens to all the aircraft when an airline goes bankrupt and stops flying like ATA. Are the planes parked where they last landed or parked in one of the desert areas out west until sold. I know ATA had a fairly new fleet including the B757s and a few new B737-900s.
Thanks in advance! J.F. |

When I was in Phoenix last week, there were three ATA 75x planes parked at the western edge of the field.... ------------------------------------------ NO, use John Mee3 at comcast dot net (remove the spaces and do the obvious with the "dot" and the "at" |

There are usually quite a few parked and mothballed at the Victorville Airport (KVCV) in California's High Desert. I noticed them during my last Angel Flight there.

Question for the group
I've heard of aircraft coming straight off the assembly line and ending up
in Arizona at the 'boneyard'. Depending on the market, some other airlines or even new start-ups might purchase them, as they are 'discounted' or 'on sale'. "John Godwin" wrote in message ...
