It's interesting how they have a lot of individual parts for rent: https://apexsurplus.com/category/1602870794421x4091516396061...

How is this usually used? Do productions rent the parts to build more complete props, like a full plane interior, then tear it down and return the individual parts? Inventory control would seem very complicated!

For a plane interior, there's Air Hollywood.[1] They provide aviation props for many major productions that need an aircraft interior or cockpit. Their airline terminal props show up, far too often, in TV shows.

Amusingly, their video showing their aircraft interiors displays "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated."[1] They probably have full authorization to show clips from some movie, but YouTube doesn't recognize that.
