Facility
Aircraft Storage Facility in Atwater, California
AeroX's storage facility sits in Atwater, California, on a large dedicated ground built to hold a mixed fleet. The space is sized for close to 100 large commercial aircraft, with additional room for several hundred smaller regional and corporate aircraft. This scale makes the facility a practical option for operators, aircraft owners, lessors, MRO providers, and agencies that need space for one aircraft or an entire fleet in a single location.

Storage Options
Short-Term & Long-Term Aircraft Storage
S
Short-Term Aircraft Storage
Built for operators who need temporary parking rather than a long-term commitment. The aircraft stays protected on the same secure ground used for long-term storage.
- Aircraft between missions
- Aircraft waiting for maintenance
- Fleet schedule changes
- Lease transition periods
- Temporary parking during delays
- Aircraft awaiting modification, inspection, or sale
L
Long-Term Storage & Preservation
Built for aircraft that will sit for months or an unknown period. Engines and auxiliary power units often need specific preservation procedures when an aircraft sits for an extended stretch.
- Long-term inactive aircraft
- Aircraft awaiting sale or lease
- Retired or reserve aircraft
- Fleet reduction periods
- Aircraft awaiting conversion
- Aircraft needing preservation before return to service
Why Atwater
Why Dry Climate Matters for Aircraft Storage
Atwater has limited changes in climate across the year and receives minimal rainfall compared with many other California locations. Humidity follows the same general pattern, with dry conditions through much of the year.
Corrosion, humidity-related deterioration, interior damage, and long-term structural wear can accelerate in wet or high-humidity environments, making storage conditions an important consideration for aircraft preservation.

Secure Aircraft Storage
AeroX keeps aircraft on the storage grounds protected through controlled, monitored access. All entrances to the storage area are under 24-hour surveillance, and access to the storage ground itself is controlled at all times.
FL
Fleet Storage for Airlines, Lessors & Operators
AeroX's storage ground can support operators that prefer to keep multiple aircraft in one location. Centralized storage provides a single point of contact and simplifies coordination for parts retrieval, servicing, maintenance, and aircraft access.
Support
Aircraft Storage Support Services
Storage at AeroX is not limited to parking an aircraft and walking away. We support the aircraft while it sits, and we support what happens after. AeroX works with MRO providers, agencies, aircraft owners, and operators, building a service plan around the specific aircraft and storage requirement.

Return to Service
Aircraft Return-to-Service Support
Storage is not only about where an aircraft sits; it is also about how it comes back out. Before an aircraft returns to active service, it typically needs a storage exit inspection, maintenance review, and evaluation of relevant systems.
Engines and auxiliary power units may require attention based on manufacturer requirements, along with inspection of flight controls and related systems. AeroX coordinates this process alongside documentation review so the aircraft can move efficiently from storage back toward active service.
