Dont forget the 757s will be going and the A300s only have 3 yrs max left in them.

So thats 7 aircraft to leave medium term. so realistically they will need 15 aircraft on top of the 320s that are coming.

So the 737s will certainly be on the cards.

But as i said - steady as she goes should be monarchs tagline. This really wasnt as big of an announcement that people thought it would be. An airline launching new routes?? heaven forbid. Not even a new ZB base.

But it certainly is a big step forward towards a scheduled airline. Now they need to get their turnaround times down and a 3rd rotation for most aircraft and profit wont be far off.
