….. it would be more accurate to say that the money flow went from Monarch Airlines to the ‘family’ - that was a major reason why the Company went downhill. All take and no investment by the Mantegazzas.
EU261 payments didn’t help either whilst trying to operate on schedule with an ageing, disparate aircraft fleet.
Monarch Mk2 is a non-starter - bit like that bloke that thinks that he can operate tired, old A380s across the Atlantic.
