[Coronavirus] A picture is worth a thousand words (part two): Passenger planes crowd runways

Share

Airlines are forced to reduce flights amid travel restrictions and a huge drop in demand as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Passenger planes now crowd runways where they are parked instead of their usual take-offs and landings. Today’s selection: Delta Air Lines – American Airlines – Lufthansa.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
