Monarch plane without engine

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with the Monarch plane G-MAJS parked outside Harrods Aviation.
I thought they had a lot of space in their maintenance hangar?

[Jan the man]

It is indeed a bit strange. Some lessors tend to take off the engines to prevent the aircraft from going anywhere when the ariline cannot pay its bills, but I would have thought that (1) Monarch is relatively stable; and (2) there are easier options (e.g. put trucks around the aircraft).

Surely, this is simply maintenance, with an engine change, scheduled or otherwise?

Why cast unfounded aspersions like the one you made?

[GOLF-INDIA BRAVO]

There is a Thomas Cook A320 like that at Manchester and is due to spend quite some time like that due to a double engine overhaul and lack of work for the aircraft over the winter period

Both hangars that can accommodate A300 are full, hence aircraft parked outside.
The aircraft is on a "C" Check at this time.
Has been wheeled outside while G-OJMR is on a small hangar check.
Engine swap from G-OJMR to G-MAJS going on, a lease engine being fitted to G-OJMR until it's "C" Check middle of Jan.
Will be back in service in a couple of days with G-MAJS going back into the hangar and back in service next week.

Monarch 767

Anyone have any idea as to whether Monarch are increasing the fleet size to include further 767's?

Another website mentions this, I wonder if it has any basis in reality?

This may happen in the future, but understand no plans for Summer 06.
You can never so no, but this is what we have been told at this time.

[CentreFix25]

Any idea what type will operate at NCL Thu,Fri & Sat during S'06.

[GrahamK]

CentreFix25, afaik it's an A330, but I could be wrong.

Monarch Schedules Summer 06

It seems from their timetable that ZB are abandoning Newquay-Malaga and reducing frequency on BLK and ABZ from Malaga for next summer. Can ayone shed any light on this?

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Yes it looks that you are correct, have been told all flights now loaded on to the system.

[factanonverba]

Looks like GRX has been dropped as well.

[chipsbrand]

No, GRX is still in the schedules. I have looked to see whether there are flights in June and there are.

[factanonverba]

It's still listed but I can't find get a timetable for June!

[factanonverba]

Have made contact, GRX reduced to 3 times a week.

ANY TRUTH IN RUMOUR MONARCH PULLING AIRCRAFT OUT OF MALAGA BASE

I wasn't aware of any Monarch aircraft being based in AGP.

Merry Christmas.

[qwertyuiop]

Monarch were sending crews to AGP to operate flights to Newquay, Aberdeen and Blackpool. The crews are not being based at Malaga anymore and Newquay soon to be stoped.
