Monarch (Tim Jeans) announced some months ago that their first B787 would be 'at least' 30 months late and would be delivered in 2013 'at the earliest'.He also announced that Monarch are working closely with Boeing to find an interim solution to the problem.
Several weeks after the announcement by Monarch, an article appeared in a major aviation journal which said that Boeing was conducting a feasability study into ramping-up production of the B763 as a possible interim solution for the airlines hardest hit by their B787 production delays. However, no decision is likely to be announced before the end of the year.
