Fleets of aeroplanes are collecting dust at a storage facility in the heart of Australia, as Covid-19 continues to bring international and domestic flights to a grinding halt. 

There are 132 aircrafts are sitting idle on the dirt at the Asia Pacific Airline Storage facility in Alice Springs, Northern Territory. 

The $8 billion worth of aeroplanes range from giant Airbus A380s to brand new Boeing 737 Max models. 

The company housing the aircrafts say desert conditions that are low in humidity are perfect for preserving their lifespans while they wait to return to the air. 

Vision captured by 9News shows the aircrafts parked in rows, in a seemingly endless graveyard of aeroplanes.

While the current planes will be indefinitely stored, 60 more will be welcomed in the coming months as carriers across the Asia Pacific feel the effects of the pandemic.

Jetstar Engineer, Peter Reece told 9News: 'It's sad, there's billions of dollars worth of aircraft here, some of the most modern aircraft in the world'. 

Australia' state borders continue to close and there is no clear indicator of when international borders may be re-opened.

Similar stretches of unused aeroplane's can be seen across the world, as some aeroplanes are left to be scrapped.

Aerial photographs of Kemble airfield in Gloucestershire, UK, show a graveyard of airliners, including British Airways 747s, waiting to be scrapped.

The images were taken on October 12, 2020 showing that it is the end of the runway for a number of the iconic jets.

Airplanes have been rendered unviable doe to the downturn in international travel and are now in the stock of a salvage company.

The recognisable 747 has become a symbolic victim of the crisis facing the aviation industry as a result of coronavirus. 

Flight paths and even airports are thought to be at risk as the economy tries to recover from the pandemic.

The fallout from the crisis has also seen airport jobs at risk due to passenger numbers massively decreasing following the nationwide lockdown.
