    Airlines store their airplanes on airports most of the time when not in the air. Airports charge them a huge amount of money for this. Even if if there is a few minutes delay, they get big fines for occupying a gate.

    Imagine having extra planes on standby.

      That’s really inefficient, just keep them flying round, constantly, you can fly them to the airport that they will be needed at.
