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

363 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!

Planes are giving the right amount of fuel for their flight, and the flight crew have to be set up. The pilots have to ensure the location is put into the computers and safety checks performed. But apart from them, a plane can have a very quick turnaround time.

It is like this because it is economically encouraged.

Every airport has a lot of hangers where it stores planes when they are not used. They might of taken one from there, or redirected another flight for your flight, and passed on the problem down the chain
