I am pretty sure both Tui and MAN would not have left five of them blocking up a Taxiway for a year. Coronavirus has probably underlined the fact that there are cheaper places to long term park airframes then major airports.
The emergency AD allowed 5 flight cycles to get back to base. TFS in my opinion, isn’t a terrible location for it with limited rain and certainly a dry low humidity climate.
To put in perspective, a lot of places charge more per day in the U.K. than it would for 2-3 months in other locations, especially in the US.
