  1. It is stored in a tank and mixed with a disinfectant solution ("blue juice").  After landing, a cart pulls up to the plane and swaps out the old, dirty blue juice with clean blue juice.  The dirty stuff is then treated at a sewage treatment plant just like any other type of waste.


  2. prob to the dump like everyfing else.

  3. It is stored in an on-board holding tank until the tank needs to be emptied.  At that time, the tank is pumped out and the blue solution is replaced with fresh solution.

    The truck, which is sometimes called the "honey wagon," is pumped out into the sewer lines.

  4. It is stored in the sewage storage tanks, these are then emptied at airports by service vehicles called Honeycarts. The sewage system onboard is controlled by a pneumatic system that uses the natural pressure differential between the airplane's cabin and the external low pressure (at high altitudes).

  5. nowadays,

    it stays in the aircraft until it has arrived at destination

    there, a truck sucks it all out and dumps it at the nearest waste processing facility, most likely the sewage system
