Heads up if you’re intending to use the SU12 beta.
I just updated to the SU 12 beta and it’s deleted Aircraft Manager data while Location Manager data is retained ok. That might put a cramp in your day, especially if you’ve got a huge plane collection.
It’s a beta though, so…
My advice for now is to not update to the SU12 beta.
I’ve raised this as an issue on the beta forum here and also on the dev forum, to see what they say:

I’m also looking into data export/import, but there’s no guarantees on that front at the moment due to some constraints imposed doing this integration.
Update:
On further investigation it seems the data is still there for Aircraft Manager, but what has happened is the plane names that are used as part of the storage key has changed in SU12 Beta, which renders the data inaccessible via the existing load function.
Looking into why the plane names have changed, it seems as if a space has been removed from the end of the plane names.
That also explains why Location Manager data was fine, different key composition.
