monarch's 4 a300-600's have given sterling service since 1990...
with most of the time with 361 seats in a 3-3-3 config

yes its very tight, they used to send them to the Maldives via BAH....
but a real workhouse,
just like KT Tristars with 400 seats which did go-sick
quite often LOL causes us lots of headaches especially went 2 went tech together on the every Friday night as always in July and august...

they are all (the a300's) due to be retired in next year or so...

there has been very few incidents with in service with monarch over the past 23 years no serious events at all...this one though if the report is correct of fuel starvation is quite serious imho and the inspections will of interest to all concerned.

the a/c was on descent to SSH,
350 pax on the return flight waiting...hotels a plenty though in SSH
