:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
New functionality including maintenance area, new ground equipement Tow-Truck, stand assignment

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
It is kind of a big idea to implement in one go but imagine :

The big part would be a maintenance area with new stands, we could move aircrafts over there when they need maintenance (small or big), with the help of tow-trucks, new ground equipment, those could also be used to pushback airplanes, adding a new ground equipement management like the use of bagages trucks, fuel trucks etc…

The small part includes stand assignement changes

Planes could be assigned to those extra stands when waiting for a contract, stands would work for both maintenance and storage

Those new stands can not be used for handling, only for storage or maintenance duties

For small airports where there isnt a lot of space, like INN or SXM, we would just keep it the old way and service the aircraft on the spot or send it away for the large check

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
New functionality, new ground equipement, extra management of fleet and ground support, more realism
