The Aircraft Graveyard In Australia.

Alice Springs has been named as the location for Australia's first aircraft boneyard -- a graveyard for aircraft past their use-by date. It was opened in 2013.

The location is similar to the famous Mojave Desert aircraft boneyard in California, with vast unused spaces, and dry conditions to prevent aircraft from corrosion, in case panels and parts can be salvaged for other planes still in service.

The facility at the Alice Springs Airport, Australia stores and recycles old planes from across the world. Billions of dollars worth of passenger jets are waiting out in the Asia Pacific Aircraft Storage facility near Alice Springs, where the dry climate is ideal for preserving them until they’re needed again.

Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific are among the airlines that have sent much of their fleet there, including mighty Airbus A380s.
