Worldwide Flight Activity This Morning

Interesting. So the flight tracker that OP posted shows a GPS on them when they're parked? That also makes sense on sometimes flying them being cheaper than parking them.

Something to think about too.. (keep in mind, I'm the furthest thing from a pilot)
These planes run virtually 365 days a year. If they ground the fleet for a week, two weeks, a month, etc., I'd imagine it could lead to failures and the need to test before they're made operational again?

Not sure, just a thought there.

Not a pilot, but if you watch the videos he covers all of that.

That’s a ton of cancellations

Some of it can be explained by bureaucracy.

"Airlines have wasted thousands of gallons of fuel running empty "ghost" flights during the corona virus outbreak because of European rules saying operators can lose their flight slots if they keep their planes on the ground. "

These two videos might explain the amount of "traffic" in the air.
