The travel restrictions and border closures that accompanied the onset of the pandemic caused the number of active aircraft to suffer an unimaginable and historic plunge 

According to a report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), in the worst months of Covid (spring 2020), the number of parked aircraft exceeded the number of operational aircraft for the first time in history, with nearly 20,000 versus less than 15,000. The number of parked units increased by 235% per month in March 2020.
