Well said
Monarch Man.
The only thing that is for sure, is that nothing in this industry is for sure.
The last thing that was decided is that the A300s, B767 and A330s would be replaced, by an as yet undecided replacement aircraft type, in around 5 to 6 years time.
My understanding is that both Airbus & Boeing have provided Monarch with deals that include a new aircraft type and aircraft in the short term.
