Unlikely. Monarch have said that they will not charter out any more flights unless they are 100% chartered by a single tour operator. As well as this Monarch are looking to move into fully scheduled flights of their own. However, they may sell some of these seats to other tour operators wanting to use the capacity as they currently do on their existing ZB network.

easyflyer83 - bmibaby have Belfast city, Cardiff and East Midlands where ZB don't have bases.
Then with MAN & BHX you can take baby off the routes ZB do and offer more destinations with the extra capacity.
Engineering can do the maintance on 737's as alot of engineers are 737 trained.
Another idea i have is if ZB buy Air Europa. Lots of rumours about 737/767 which they have and don't forget the link up they agreed to although yet to see any news on that one. ZB want to increase their pax inbound to the UK so this would be a way to do that. Plus Air Europa have 330's and the smaller ERJ's which could do nicely in some of the smaller UK markets.

One of the reasons why Monarch is looking at new aircraft is for the purpose of fuel efficiency. I don't think BMI Baby's relatively old 737's will achieve this when compared with the new aircraft the likes of Ryanair and Easyjet have. Any purchase of an operation with these aircraft would be madness.
Air Europa has 9 x A330's and 2 x 767-300ER's, along with an order for 8 x 787's and options for 8 more. This does not fit in with Monarch's grand plan to focus for the time being on its short haul network. None of this fits I'm afraid.

According to the Sunday Times yesterday the owners of Monarch had to pump in 75 million pounds this month. 2 years ago they had to pump in 45 Million.
I think the Mantegazza family would do better leasing their aircraft to another airline rather than pouring money into a badly managed black hole!!!
Sad. Not the happy ship it once used to be.

Well how about Monarch operating the aircraft as ZB but with Thomas cook holidays have 80% seats onboard the aircraft?
Less risk then to ZB for making the base work?

Not sure if this should be in the SLF forum, but it is Monarch related...
Do Monarch charge any extra for checking in at the terminal instead of online (like Ryanair do)? I ask as when I try to check in online I'm forced to pre-book a seat as well, at a cost of £8 per person per flight.

Monarch 75's are planned to operate for TCX in 2012
at a few regionals. That will be a shock for them but at least it will
all be on voyage and probably DO 's unless the new crewing system
does what it says on the tin.

4 aircraft are needed.
THis summer we had an aircraft each from AEU and MINT and 2 from TCX.
Maybe cheaper For TCX to charter MON/ZB than MINT or AEU??
If they dont need all the seats and ZB sell some of the seats themselfs?
