[4K] STORED PLANES at Prestwick Airport March 2020 | A340s 787s & More

The world is currently in chaos as a once in a century event takes place. This has led to a significant drop in the demand for air travel. Airlines are now storing most of their fleets and accelerating the retirement of older aircraft types. Most airlines have cut their operations mostly or entirely, all because of this event. Prestwick Airport now has a ton of stored planes, Norwegian 787s, half of which are because of Trent issues and the other half because this event, 3 Virgin Atlantic A340-600s, which were withdrawn from service two months earlier, a number of Ryanair 737s and a few EasyJet Airbuses. Glasgow Airport also has a ton of stored planes. The Travel and Aviation industries are going through their darkest days, since air travel began in the early 1900s. The sooner this event blows over the better for everyone.

One thing to note about this video. I filmed this video handheld as it was easier, because most of the locations required a step ladder, making it nearly impossible to use my tripod.

Beautiful shots, Dan. Especially loved the VA A340's. But an incredibly sad sight to see :(

[JonathanWinton]

Awesome footage Dan. I really do miss the Airbus A340-600s of Virgins and they haven't even been that long retired. Very nicely filmed as always mate.
It is a sad and very hard time in the industry. We all hope for the best soon.
Liked.

Sad to see the industry in such state of affairs, nice video as always Dan. Keep safe in these troubling times.

Really is a sad sight to see these all stationary at PIK. Nicely put together video, liked!

Thank you Dan! I live in Bournemouth where Hurn Airport is and that is rapidly filling up with ‘resting’ British Airways aircraft. Incidentally, is the Fairey Gannet still on duty at HMS Gannet at Prestwick? The Gannet that stood for many years (alongside a Shackleton) as a gate guard at RNAS Lossiemouth has long gone and I think that the Gannet at HMS Gannet has been scrapped too. Many thanks for the videos. Rob.

So sad seeing those virgin A340-600 s just parked there so lifeless😭

[tingbase]

Something tells me those virgin a346s might never go back into service as the purchase of the a350s is to replace them and the 744s.

[jimgemmell]

The A340s have left and are now at Bournemouth.

[alanconboy]

EasyJet A320s are in Prestwick for maintenance not storage.

[joemamasw]

I live here in prestwick I have stood where you sand filming the first plane

[colinharvey]

Bournemouth looks like a car park with all the BA aircraft sitting laid up.

[barneyward]

I honestly can't bare to think those A340's could be scrapped. I hope they'll still be kept around in some way shape or form, maybe put on display or something.

[briancarno]

Those 340 airbuses cant be very fuel efficient...you wonder if they will ever fly again
