Monarch delays

[pinhammond]

Does anyone know why Moanarch are having such a bad day for punctuality at Gatwick today?

[Whispering Giant]

Possible due to Slot's - due to everyone starting there Ski charters today....

[Localiser Green]

Their charter flights don't ever have good punctuality at Gatwick, in fact they have never been out of the bottom three carriers at the airport on the league table dating back to Summer 2001.

Bottom of the list at Luton as well http://www.flightontime.info/charter/airports/ltn.html

Aircraft unserviceabilities appears to have caused a major disruption over a very busy weekend, and are continuing to do so.

A321

An A321 aircraft was tech yesterday morning leading to a big nock on effect in the A321 fleet. also the A300 fleet had delays... and these were the aircraft which mainly did the ski flights

And of course as usual they've got to get the scheduled flights out on time, at the expense of the charter program

I'll think you'll find that in these circumstances, that some schedules have either been cancelled or subbed out.

charter given preference over scheduled? never!
