Inside Europe's Biggest Airplane Graveyard

- What is happening inside Europe’s largest aircraft storage site? I visited Teruel, Spain to find out more from Tarmac Aerosave.
During the peak of the Pandemic, there were about over 150 widebodies stored in Teruel making it the largest aircraft storage site in Europe. Most of them are A340, A380, Boeing 747 and B777 wide-body aircraft.
As travel demand returned, there was a shortage of airplane flying. More and more airplanes are leaving the storage and flying back in the sky for a second life! Staff from Tarmac Aerosave showed me how to re-activate an Airbus A380. After completing 5,000 hours of check and maintenance, the Etihad Airways A380 is ready to leave storage and return to service.
Next, I visited an A330 with components and parts removed from the airplane. The airplane is being recycled. The Tarmac team showed me how they remove parts and document it before sending it to the owner. Up to 94% of the airplane can be recycled within 12 weeks. It is interesting to see an array of activities in Europe’s biggest aircraft storage site.
I don't know why but everything about this video is extremely wholesome! Everyone at this site seems to take such pride in their work.
Glad you pointed this out!
Everyone was really eager to explain their roles to Sam well - and with such enthusiasm.
Agreed
great video Sam!
but when we can get 4K =-=
Until they turn off cameras and the whining about everything starts😂
They all have " The Bug ". I have had it all of my life and I'm 70 y/o . I worked for over 20 years in aviation and it went by like it was a few days . All my time since i had to retire has been more or less volunteer time , That allows me to do what i love .
Great video. I hope i can see the A - 380 one day. To realize it's size from just a video tells me it's very very large when seeing it live in person.
I love seeing these folks doing the job they love . All i can say. to them is hang on because the airplane is not the only thing that flies , time does also .
Thank you for what you do. It makes a lot of difference. Your profession is what makes flying safe as it is.
As a Spaniard I'm so proud to have this company located in Spanish soil. Thanks Sam for sharing this experience ❤
Spain at the top of there game in everything right now...FOOTBALL TENNIS PLANES HOLIDAYS......
Same man
@@davemellor4697 Many people don't know this, but the aerospace industry has always been a significant part of Spain's industrial sector (9,3% of Spain's industrial GDP). Airbus, for instance, was formed through the merger of four European aerospace companies, one of which was the Spanish company CASA (Construcciones Aeronáuticas S.A.). CASA had its own line of airplanes, and several key Airbus Group factories are located in Spain (Getafe, Illescas, Seville...), including the assembly line for the Airbus A400M Atlas (in Seville).
@@davemellor4697 And they're on top of their game bringing "refugees" too LMAO
For those who don't know, Teruel is one of the least populated and most remote provinces in Spain, a forgotten place where young people always had trouble finding a stable future and had to emigrate to more prosperous areas.
That's why this facility has become a big source of income (more than 4,000 direct and indirect jobs) and pride for the region, and you can feel it in the employees' passion for their job.
Great work. As a Spaniard, I’m also impressed by how eloquent the lady was in English. Spaniards are not particularly great with English, yet, she showed great mastery of the language to cover some rather complicated topics. Loved it.
There are many 2nd generation Spanish in the UK that speak the two languages very well. Some are UK/Spain dual nationals.
Younger generations are much better at English than we were (I’m from the 80s). That was preventing us from being a strong IT hub for example and this has now completely changed. I’m very happy that skilled young guys now have better opportunities than in the past.
Not to mention how cute she was 😂
Sam's English is just horrible! It's somewhere between a hot potato in his mouth and a frog.
Special thanks to all engineers , technicians, and maintenance ,.. you make airplane travel possible.. thank you again
Imagine being an airline executive. Yeah take our $200mil A380 & park it somewhere, we might use it again one day. I have trouble throwing out an old T shirt.
Airlines like Lufthansa did initially not even intend to return their A380s into flying service at all. Now they have at least brought back a few of them. Mostly because the 777X is delayed.
200?more like 400
@@lemedico Not really, on the balance sheet right now without engines most are well below $100m, heck Emirates have some they took off their lessors for like $20m. Depreciation mate

Welcome to Spain Sam. It's a great joy to see you here.
I used to live in Valencia. On my trips along the A-23 I would always keep my eyes open for this surreal sight in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks for the close-up view Sam!
Thanks Sam, this was fun to watch! Epic place.
This is so cool thanks for sharing Sam!!!!!!
Love your behind the scenes videos. I hope you keep doing more of these :)
Here's to all the faceless ingenieurs across the globe who work tirelessly to ensure we can safely fly around our gorgeous home we call Earth.
Cheers to each and every one of you!!.
Another quality aviation video! Such an interesting part of a planes lifespan, whether parked or being recycled. Thanks for the perspective Sam!
Thank you Engineers
Thank you all Service people
Thank you Sam Chiu
Thank You so much Sam for always showing amazing content, so Sad to see so many aircraft static, Happy to see some are going to flying again, 380’s 350’s !!
Very interesting Sam. Something we don't normally get to see. Thanks!

Very cool video! Welcome to Spain!!
Thank you very much for sending us good and informative videos about the aviation industry, good luck always 👍🏻👍🏻❤
Hello Sam, thanks for your brilliant video on the plane graveyard. Your enthusiasm shows well, very enjoyable. The engineers are so cool and amazing. I worked for B. A. In the 70s and 80s as a motor mechanic and the plane engineers were so dedicated. Sorry so long a comment, but thanks and best wishes to you from the U.K. John.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Your videos always show things the public never sees. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks Sam Chui

super nice vid - thank you sir
Amazing sam 👏
Sam I was NOT an Aviation guy, but since I watched your videos you've brought so much Love to me in loving Aviation, THANK YOU SIR❤
Nice Video Sam!!!
Absolutely fantastic video Sam!! Was wandering if you would make a video about Teruel as a lot has changed since everything got back to normal around 2022-2023 after the pandemic. However I'm really shocked at 9:07 to see those 5 British Airways 747-400's still being in perfect shape and all being taken care of! They've been flown into Teruel in April 2020 ( before BA officially retired the 747 ) for long term storage and it looks like BA just left them there... It wouldn't be a mistake to maybe at least bring back those 744's, especially with the delay of the 777X! Hope to see those Jumbos back in the skies soon, 4 and a half years sure is a long time 😢
Very nice video Sam
Thank For subtitles for I did not understand half of the video
But yet again this is beautifully made
This is probably Sam's best report. A great insight for aviation enthusiasts! ✈️
This might be your best video yet.
Thank you, really enjoyed\
One of the most interesting videos I have watched on CZcams 👍🏻
Wow
. Amazing,. So many aircraft here..
Sam I was really waiting for this video since 1 month because I love a380 and 747
Also, this week, I learnt that Boeing is about to realease a new version of the 747-8 called the 747-8X. Exciting news if you ask me. Let's hope they'll make passenger versions of it.
Great video Sam!
Thanks a lot ! 🌟
I didn't know that, but I learn something new from him every day.
Aaaaaaah, the ultimate airplane enthusiast’s wet dream!!! Thanks for sharing this for us 🙏🏻
Great Video, thanks !!
Good to see that Sam reinvented himself from receiving free flight and giving good reviews
He literally never did that you absolute clown
Excellent video
Fascinating to see how aircraft get used as donor parts for other aircraft. Excellent video!
Fascinating!
Very interesting!
Sam you are the best aviation gig
Thanks chamsui wonder full coverage iliked this video
Ah yes I wide variety of A340s, A380s, and 747s
Europe's best.
Lufthansa A340 & A380 Return to service, brought to you by the Boeing 777X
spaniards are class - greetings from belgium. and thanks sam for the great insight into this amazing company
Interesting content
Very interesting!!
Hi Sam, I'm eagerly very excited that some of Ethiad Airways and Lufthansa Airbus A380's are entering back to service after the COVID pandemic👍👍👍👍. But sadly, British Airways Boeing 747-400's will not fly again and they were all retired 😞😞😞😞.
A380 Return brought to you by the Boeing 777X, at least for the Lufthansa ones
A340 are always my favourite , just because of 4 engines
More fun than the 2 engine
@@willhays3963 yeah!!! Especially 340 500/600 they are love
Sam, you the best!

A great video. I really appreciate such videos. Many many thanks for this best. And Bhalobasha ar Dowa for you and all the great engineers for their great did; from Mirpur Dhaka Bangladesh.
Awesome area..
Thanks again
I liked the ending statement.
They now have a 2nd home, and WILL fly again, returning the sky.
Like lost artwork being found again, and now on display to the world.
There are companies that sell various parts of aircraft for homes from the smallest to chairs and tables to wall art… Sam can you put us in touch with any of those?? Great video as always
Sam, you should come and do one of the largest aircraft storage facilities in the southern hemisphere, in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. Maybe you can do a flight to Uluru as well as part of the vid.
Good to see the big birds flying back in the air ❤sir
Nice backround music!
When i moved from Valencia to Vigo, i took the northern route and saw this place while on the highway storing tons of a380 from ba and others
Very cool seeing , I know all the spots in USA but seeing one over seas is amazing ❤
Glad to hear that nokscoot plane were have a new home and will be back to fly again 🎉
My respect and appreciation to Mrs. Sam for this information to serve the community. The future of airlines must be maintained and prices reduced. This is the future of airlines, if they are honest for the sake of people. The companies must start reducing flights. There are many people who do not have the ability to travel, and we must look at these people, and the responsibility falls on them. All companies in the world
Very nice video. Thanks Sam.
I love your blog
It looks like a little part of Davis-Monthan 😊 video as usual was very interesting
