The AvgasDinousaur
Monarch`s existing fleet will not be owned by MON, they will belong to the lessors who almost certainly will be owed payment on them & who could well have different ideas to any prospective MON purchaser.The administrators/receivers would also be in the mix as will the landing airfield for fees,the a/c could be impounded until someone pays up...The fleet will also be on MON`s AOC.
All adds up to not a quick turn from MON in the morning to A.N Other in the afternoon say...Doesn`t work like that....More expedient to charter in.
