Monarch poor punctuality
The latest round of Charter Airline Punctuality shows surprisingly poor results for Monarch Charter flights over the Summer 2004 season so far (Apr-Jun).
Any ideas why the figures are so bad? The likes of Britannia, First Choice and Thomas Cook are running at 80% OTP, but MON is struggling to achieve 66%! And 10% of flights more than 1 hour late, that's double the leading airlines...
The figures are all the more unusual when you compare them with Monarch Scheduled Punctuality which on the whole is very good.

Could have something to do with the fact that Aviance dont have enough staff to service the contract.
Well thats the case at manchester. Half the flights have been subbed out to Ringway and Swissport.
Rumour control say's its Swissports contract as of Nov..........
So says the slug...................

Its because the schedules are operated primarily by A320/321 which have a good dispatch record where as the charters utilise the A300 fleet which has an appalling serviceability rate and are tech a lot of the time---record is 3 out of 4 AOG at the same time !!

Very true re ; a/c serviceability Mud but i think you will find the real reason is that the scheduled services are protected to the detriment of the charters - many times it was delay a ZB or a charter and the charter won every time , still it could explain the loss in charter business and gain in lo-co from the LTN mafia!

Monde - I thought the banning of MON Ops from requesting sub charters from certain Airlines by the 'new' sales force so that they can give the business to their mates in STN was something to do with it !?
With MY reputation?
