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

407 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!

Thank of it being at a rental car center. They have cars, and in this case the captain is person renting the car. Car comes back, get cleaned and refueled. If a car breaks and not available, then a recently returned car is quickly prepped or another car for other renter gets substituted.

Basically at an airplane hub, they have other airplanes and parts in the hangers.
