It does not have an ignition key, for example in an Airbus A320, the start-up takes place via two tilting and a rotary switch directly below the thrust levers: http://www.simhq.com/_air4/images/air_127a_031.jpg

Passenger planes, however, have a lock at the entrance doors.

And how do you open the door? Key or number lock?

There is no ignition key and also no lock for the door anyone who has it possibility to get to an aircraft e.g. A320 can open the door a compartment and start the engines theretic. On insecure airports we only glue a seal on the doors to make sure no one can enter.

I don’t think so. Private jets have at least no one. It is interesting that you can hardly reasonably secure such an expensive device.

It can be reasonably secured if an aircraft is missing, it will be noticed, and then the air traffic controller can track the way of the aircraft

Hello,

No, there is a key for no single modern aircraft (which in turn are already several decades). In contrast to the car, a relatively long checklist has to be processed so that an engine runs.
