Hangaring

/ˈhæŋərɪŋ/ verb, noun

Etymology

From hangar + -ing (gerund); refers to the action of placing aircraft into large military or civilian shelters for protection and maintenance.

Kelly Says

Hangaring costs are a major airline expense—it's why so many planes are parked in the desert rather than expensive hangars, creating literal graveyards of commercial aircraft waiting for travel to recover.
