Over 10,000 aeroplanes are normally in flight at any one time around the planet. In March 2020, the coronavirus decimated air travel and the drone of aeroplane engines overhead all but ceased. By mid-April over 14,000 passenger planes around the world, 65% of the global fleet, had been placed in storage. Earthbound looks at the problem of finding parking space for this number of aircraft, in an industry not designed for that number of aeroplanes to be anywhere else apart from in the air.
