印度一機場破產,被遺棄的飛機怎麼辦?

When an airline no longer wants a plane, it is sent away to a boneyard, a storage facility where it sits outdoors on a paved lot, wingtip to wingtip with other unwanted planes.

當航空公司不再需要飛機時，飛機會被送往骨料廠，那是一個在戶外鋪設好的儲存設施。所有的飛機會在那裏首尾相連的排列好。

From the air, the planes look like the bleached remains of some long-forgotten skeleton. Europe's biggest boneyard is built on the site of a late-30s airfield in Teruel, in eastern Spain, where the dry climate is kind to metallic airframes.

從空中看下去，那些飛機看上去像是被漂白了的被遺忘的骸骨。歐洲最大的廢料廠建立在西班牙東部特魯埃爾（Teruel）30年代後期的飛機場上，那裏的乾燥氣候對金屬機身很友好。

Many planes are here for short-term storage, biding their time while they change owners or undergo maintenance. If their future is less clear, they enter long-term storage. Sometimes a plane's limbo ends when it is taken apart, its body rendered efficiently down into spare parts and recycled metal.

許多飛機在這裏都是短期存放的，他們在更換所有者或進行維護時會花一些時間。如果他們的未來不太清楚，則可以進入長期存儲。有時，飛機的邊緣消失時會消失，其機體會有效地分解成零配件和可回收金屬。

Among all the industries hit by Covid-19, aviation suffered in several distinct ways.

幾乎所有的行業都受到來自新冠疫情的衝擊，航空業收到了來自好幾個不同方向的影響。

In the depths of the flying freeze, in late April, 166 of KLM's 204 planes were grounded. Instead of taking them to boneyards, KLM decided to keep them all at Schiphol – pulled up to the departure gates, or parked wing-to-wing in a zigzag pattern on one runway, after steel plates had been laid down so that the combined weight of the aircraft didn't damage the tarmac.

由於長時間的禁飛，在四月末，166架KLM公司的飛機已經被閒置。KLM沒有將它們帶向廢料場，而是決定將它們全部保留在史基浦機場–拉到登機口，或者將機翼以雙字形停放在一條跑道上，放下鋼板，使總重量飛機沒有損壞停機坪。
