Although Rockstar has finally confirmed that GTA 6 is in development, there's no expectation that it'll be arriving to replace GTA 5 any time soon. This means that many players are still getting their GTA fix in the 2013 release and its consistently-popular GTA Online mode. GTA Online is a sandbox of missions, heists, and challenges for players to earn cash, and those with enough wealth can build up significant fleets of vehicles.
One of the higher tier status symbols in GTA Online is being able to own and store planes. However, when a player needs a quick injection of cash, it can be a good idea to sell an old or outdated aircraft to receive half of its value back. Unfortunately, selling planes in GTA Online isn't the most straightforward process and requires players to have made a significant investment first.
Buying a Hangar and Workshop in GTA Online
Before players can sell their planes in GTA Online, they first need to buy a Hangar to store them in. There are five Hangars available for sale in the Maze Bank app, ranging in price from $1.2m to $3.25m.
Players who buy a Hangar in Fort Zancudo will be allowed limited access to the base, including the ability to drive through the checkpoint without picking up a wanted level.
Once players have a Hangar filled with planes to sell, they'll next need to buy a Workshop to actually do the deal. The Workshop is one of many Hangar improvements available for purchase and will set players back $1.15m. As well as allowing players to sell their planes in GTA Online, the Workshop also allows them to respray and customize their aircraft.
Selling Planes in GTA Online
Once players have built a Workshop in their GTA Online Hangar, they're ready to sell planes. To do this, simply enter the aircraft, then press the button on-screen to begin modifying it. At the bottom of the GTA Online customization menu, there will be an option to sell the aircraft for half of its original value.
This method can be used to sell most planes in GTA Online, but players won't be able to sell any vehicle from Pegasus. The transport company's vehicles can be stored in the Hangar, and even customized in the Workshop, but players won't have the option to sell them.
Fortunately, any non-Pegasus vehicle can be freely sold, helping to free up some cash for other GTA Online projects.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
