It’s difficult to park anything in Skandinavia without getting close to the sea.
They are well practiced at aircraft storage, they've been looking after the 18 MAX for 12 months plus, like wise a good few 787 in storage awaiting engines, their ground handling people know what they're doing, they actually ran out of engines (had them but wrong place) so they used an inflated kiddies paddling pool at one stage.

Covid might work for them, after all these aircraft aren't going to be flying with anyone anytime soon, at least an owner is not paying for storage or ground maintenance cost.

It will be an interesting week.
