So will iberworld or orbest be basing crew here do you think? Flight times suggest they might. Or they'll just use their spanish crew in hotac.

There is a permanent base with cabin crew on part time contract seven months on 5 off. There are also some temporary crew member. And finally crews are being sent from the uk to help.

Well here is hoping for 1 aircraft in DUB .
Monarch could do well with ZB out of DUB on a 320 or 319 ( if they come to the fleet). But they can't see beyond the UK. They should grow a pair and be brave and take a risk. It's how other airlines succeed. Also some money to be made up in scotland.

Monarch could concievably make some money in Scotland. I would imagine running flights to major destinations such as Palma, Tenerife, Malaga (admittedly all served by the current players in Scotland), at a reasonable frequency and timings, from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Prestwick and Aberdeen could attract people to use them. With the demise of Globespan, Jet2 have filled the gap, but there may be room for one more...

Back to the real world....what are Monarch doing with their A330s this winter? No flights to Mombasa or Male - Monarch holidays to these destinations are being op'd by Kenya Airways via NBO and Emirates via DXB respectively. As far as I can see there will only be four regular long haul flights each week (Weds: LGW-GND/TAB, Thurs: LGW-GOI, Fri: MAN-GOI, Sat: LGW-GOI).

Don't bank on the A330 operating the GOI flights, my understanding is that they will be on the A300.
I would say it is pretty certain that one A330 is off on the Hajj again, starts end of Sept and finishes mid December.
Plan is to carry out "C checks between phases and after the Hajj, which should include a respray as well.

Is Monarch the new Goldtrail?
Does anyone think that Monarch may be heading in the same direction as Goldtrail? There is much talk in the market that Monarch is discounting seat prices heavily to sell. Is it because of too much capacity or too little demand or both?

As opposed to Ryanair's 1p flights +tax.
Very few seats on the aeroplane will be priced at the low end.
Wasn't too long ago when Monarch's relationship with Olympic Holidays was severed. Allegedly not wanting to operate the flights at a loss

HiFly MPilot...any sources for your rumour or just fishing? I keep my ear pretty close to the ground and I actually hear quite the opposite, that ZB prices are above their competitors. You can hardly compare the two companies...Goldtrail were a middleman and Monarch are asset owners...big difference.
What have they done?!
