Ah, ok, I stand corrected - rather they have "taken the decision not to acquire the Airbus A321."
Why could Monarch not have leased this aircraft on a short-term basis to cover the flying period that will now be covered by Air Finland and Astraeus? Would there have to be a minimum term to a lease? Is it not cheaper to lease short term rather than charter other airlines to fly for Monarch (as well as the obvious implications of supporting crew from other airlines)?
And what about BM and BR which I believe are also leased? Might there be anything in the pipeline for those airframes?
