My airplane broke. How does the airport get a new one in a few hours?

371 views

My flight was delayed because the main computer on the plain broke. I am interested to know where do they keep spare airplanes and what steps do they need to go through before they can act as a replacement.
Thanks!

Let’s say the airline have 5 planes flying into that airport this afternoon. Your on the 1st plane, and it breaks down. They give the 2nd plane to your flight, the 3rd plane to the flight that should have been on the 2nd plane, and so on. And the people who should have been on the 5th plane get your original plane once it’s fixed. So everyone faces a small delay rather than one flight facing a massive one
