Not quite out of long haul completely but limited in scope. This summer, planned long haul includes:

1 weekly LGW/MBA
1 weekly LGW/TAB/GND
2 weekly MAN/SFB
2 weekly LGW/SFB
1 weekly NCL/SFB
1 weekly CWL/SFB
(& 3 single flights during height of summer GLA/SFB)

This is in fact an increase on last year when the A330 saw places such as AGP, ACE, LCA and SSH. The news to the company about the future shape of the Monarch network was that long haul was not in its immediate term plans and "in the medium term, Monarch Airlines’ longhaul strategy will be strengthened against the background of a fully developed shorthaul offering."

So, as you can see, long haul is not off the agenda altogether.
