Incredible videos of grounded planes around the world

There are grounded planes around the world as the Coronavirus brings travel to a halt. From major airlines such as American Airlines and Lufthansa to smaller ones such as CSA Czech Airlines, aircraft are being stored in a multitude of airports big and small. From airports such as Tulsa to airports like Frankfurt, airlines are using any airports they can find to store their aircraft.

The reduced operation at what is usually the UK’s fourth busiest airport meant an Essex Police drone, based at Stansted, was able to safely launch and capture the bird’s-eye view of the airfield at a time which would normally be the peak of the flying day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz3Z11f4Uzs   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KszpYejtYdM
