Today there has been a big problem with G-OZBO (I was not on this flight). It was operating flight ZB654 to Malaga from Manchester and there were no problems and it arrived at Gate C36 on time. However at Malaga, there was a problem. Don't know what it is wrong with it yet. It was then moved to Gate C40 (remote stand) and those poor passengers had to wait in Pier C for a long time. Plus there is passport control to get into Pier C so they were not allowed out. Finally it seems that the Monarch staff had had enough as G-OZBO is still having problems. So they have decided to use G-OZBT which had arrived from Birmingham, so G-OZBO is going to Birmingham tonight and it is going to be delayed for at least four hours.
Poor people. Anyone know what is wrong with G-OZBO? (probably a technical fault I Assume)
Also flight ZB660 from Manchester to Malaga this afternoon had to make an emergency landing in Luton. Anyone know why.
High Season, Maximum Aircraft Utilisation, Aircraft go Tech and have to be fixed.
In other words same as why many other flights, with many airlines, have delays!.
Welcome to the real world. It could get worse before it gets better!!
