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?

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).

Why cast unfounded aspersions like the one you made?

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?

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?
