What Happens to Planes After Retirement

Do you think that the newer an airplane, the safer the flight? Not quite. Modern commercial aircraft are very robust. One of the oldest commercial airplanes, a Boeing 737-200, made its first flight 40 years ago and still makes 3-4 regular flights a day! But what happens to the retired aircraft?

There are several options for airplanes that don’t fly anymore. One of the most common options is simply storage. The most ideal places for this purpose of storing airliners are deserts with dry climates, where the planes won’t rust too quickly. But what happens to airplanes after they arrive?

  1. Ok I don’t know why I’m sad bc I find it sad that the airplanes have to die and then get taken apart

  2. well ive went to the mohave calafornian grave yard there are all kinds of planses even 747 s

  3. How many likes this comment get is how many times Bright Side brought the Simply Storage picture ????????????????????????????????

  4. One important factor to aircraft life is maintenance. I've seen older jets that have been well maintained, and I've seen 3-4 year old jets that have not. I can tell you which jet I'd be more likely to fly on. Newer doesn't necessarily mean better. Yes newer jets have more safety features and controls than older ones, but a lot of a jet's safety has to do with its maintenance and upkeep.
