Alex321 is correct in that the new Airbuses have nothing to do with Airbus other than they built them.
Both the cancelled A321's and the new A320 are or were going to be leased. I believe maybe the same leasing company.
Due to the 3 A320's leaving the fleet it left Monarch two A320s short for the summer season.
Monarch were at one stage looking to wet/Damp lease a A320, but it was known before the Alex321 post on the second-hand A320, that the Jet Time 737-700 was going to be operated in its place.
