    All those a/c you refer have been returned from lease.
    In the case of Span Air and Malev the leaser is ILFC, they will use either Dublin aerospace and/or Eirtech to maintain/respray the a/c if a new lease for the a/c can be arranged.
    Both span air and Malev a/c are there due to the companies going bankrupt.

    Kingfisher a/c that are present are there because the company are having financial difficulties and either the lease was up or they were unable to financially continue the lease.

    Again, awaiting new customers who wish to lease the a/c.

    The baby 737NGs (737-600) are too high cost per seat to justify using except in very specific circumstances - you've got a regional jet capacity plane with the costs of a full narrow body.

    Hence there's more value in them to scrap out the parts that can also be used on 737-700/-800/-900s.
