Well up to last week, only two B757s going this year as no replacement B757s available at the costing we want, due to operational costs on other two are low.
No A330s available either and B767 lease is wet and not dry.
As l said this was the situation last week, but who knows and yes l do know that Easyjets A321s are available and have been since the new year.

UA are only grounding B737 and B747's
What will this mean for EDI, were the main tour operator on flights is Airtours/Thomas Cook, and indeed other 3rd party work MON do?

"airhumberside" MON put the aircraft where the work is, hence two in DUB this summer.
It always depends on how much the likes of TCX/MYT do in house and how much they off load to MON and other airlines.

So with this new scheduled strategy for current in house Cosmos charters, MON would still do 3rd party charters, assusming they aren't done in house by the client (e.g. TCX at EDI)? Or in other words Monarch will still do charter?

Around 40% of Monarchs work is still in charter work and l guess will still continue for many years to come, think about what the B787s are for, when they turn up some time in the next decade.
On the Cosmos front, if you Google you will end up at Monarch Holidays, but if you put into your browser "cosmos-holidays" you will still get Cosmos.
So it is a branding issue to sell more Cosmos holidays and link every thing to the group and make it easy for Joe public.

Zb 737
Hi guys,
Does anyone know what aircraft operates the ZB737 into LGW from AGP on Friday 20th June.
I thought the A300 operates that one, but the seat plan looks like an A330 for that day, but am unsure.
If anyone can help or confirm, would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Seems to be scheduled as a A321, but as you say the configuration is different.
It is however, an A300 if my eyes are correct. If you look there is no row eight when selecting a seat. When looking at the A330 seat map there is no row 7, the A300 is missing a row 8.
So looks like it is to be an A300!

Monarch Aircrft
After being at Manchester today i happen to notice that 3 different Monarch flights were operated by aircraft hired from other operators and one charter being Mon1217 arrived over 18 hours late from Zakynthos,
Is there a sudden shortage of company aircraft or have Monarch just won too much work this season to be able to cope?

Don't know specifically about now, however I have done sub-service for Monarch before, and it was usually for unserviceable aircraft or aircraft delayed out of heavy maintenance.
Also, I must say...Monarch has one of the best flight dispatch departments that I have come across in over forty years of airline flying...Monarch, top-notch folks.

the deleyed zante flight was due to the earthquake greece had yesterday, monarch had a few flights nightstop in greece before returning home. Most of monarchs sub-charters are due to tech aircraft.

Plus an A300-600 out
They don't seem to have allot of luck, one of their A300 blew a tyre on landing in CFU this morning. It went with a bang, locals thought it was another earthquake....!!!!

and other two zb's go late...
they're not having luck at all, especially not in Manchester,
ZB660 Malaga has just pushed back just over 3 hours late and ZB676 Alicante has just pushed 1hr and 20 late.
Isn't it strange that Gatwick or any other base isn't getting any other delays worth mentioning, looks like Manchester gets all the trouble to cope with again. I wonder if the great Mr. Brown would let this happen on his doorstep at LTN? mmm... i think not...

May be its the MAN aircraft that are going tech, which is why the delays are at MAN.
Two Subs are to cover a A300 which is on a planned "C" check, they are using a 767-200 of TUI and the overspill on the second aircraft.
As pointed out MON were short due an a/c stuck in ATH overnight on its way to ZTH, plus an EFL operating today from yesterdays flying program, due to the quake.
As pointed out the A300 in CFU will not of helped.
