LIVE WEBINAR
aircraft parking challenges
during the pandemic
2020 has been a challenging year for the aviation industry, as the COVID-19 pandemic hit us very hard. A major challenge, particularly during the first wave this spring, was how to effectively park a huge amount of aircraft that were now left on the ground.
​
Presented to you by Joshua Jones, Senior Manager at United, this webinar will provide an insider look at United’s effort to safely and efficiently park hundreds of aircraft as a result of drastically reduced demand due to COVID-19. In this webinar, Joshua will cover several items including:
  • Planning efforts leading up to the drawdown of flight operations
  • Factors influencing where to park aircraft
  • The use of AviPLAN software to generate off-gate aircraft parking layouts
Please note: The live session of this webinar has already been held. A recorded version is available in our webinar library
