[crackling jet]

Roumour has it that Monarch are operating some ski flights out of BRS this winter, anyone confirm these roumours

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Are they all flying?
l don't think so, G-MARA has been tech for the last few days l believe.

Well 'RA operated the LPA on Sat 5th but yes hasn't been flying since. Guessing if it wasn't tech though it would of been flying.

It had a tech fault so it will be in BHX wont it. It will proabaly stay there too.

MAN is ok to have 11 at the base. It has 11 in the summer time and if it had less than this, where would the other aircraft go. BHX, LTN & LGW would also have cutbacks too so it would be best to keep the aircraft where they are.

MAN: 2x A300, 1x A320, 6x A321, 1x A330 (Fri GOI only), 2x B757

Dunno if there is 2 in MAN all 3 operating charter flights and i dont think they are from MAN because no charters have been on the departing flights recently (I type in MON and it comes up with nothing). Also i dont know these routes on flightradar24 because i cant find them anywhere but i would say they are from LGW

data.flight24.com/airplanes/g-monj
data.flight24.com/airplanes/g-monk

I would list all aircraft where they are at the moment but that is too spotty to put onto this forum page

Bases

It is 4 x 321 at BHX.

Anyone know why a lot of MAN - ALC flights are being operated as MON flights instead of ZB flights? They all start with MON911? but anyone know why this is happening?

[TartinTon]

A series of ad-hoc charters for a car manufacturers product launch

[spottyemm]

I think they are a series being run for Volkswagen. VIP qualified cabin crew are being rostered for these flights and some are 'w' patterns.

[Buster the Bear]

Where are the 'new' A320's coming from?

[qwertyuiop]

A320's from Air Berlin.

[MKY661]

Wonder if they will be allowed more as Air Berlin have loads of A320's. Do we know the reg's yet?

[renort]

registrations

Maybe they'll name one in honour of Peter Brown as a reminder of the absolute mess he got the business in. Interesting that most employees today probably don't understand the significance of reg's such as MAJS OJMR and MPCD (RIPx3) and what they did for the company. Seriously can't see any of the current band of journeyman nitwits ever getting themselves the same distinction.

[Monde]

try getting the 762 G-BOPB back from wherever it's gone - i'm sure people at MON can work out a pneumonic for it!

[SCANDIC]

Its flying for Jordan aviation.

[Benod]

Is it just me or Monarch has cut a few Monday flights out of Gatwick for 2012 e.g Paphos and Majorca?

According to ther timetable they still operate to Palma on Mondays:

ZB226 LGW0750 | PMI1055
ZB227 PMI1150 | LGW1255

Doesn't appear to be any flights to Paphos though no.

[Benod]

Yeah, before there was a monday flight to paphos at 13:55. Dont know why theese flights are being cut

[fanrailuk]

Enthusiast Day

Does anyone know if there will be another Monarch orientated aviation enthusiast day after the 16 December one?

Thanks in advance

Benod....I would assume that it's not making any money for them? That's the reason airlines normally cut flights....

They didn't have 14 weekly flights to BCN from LGW to fit into last summers progame which may be the reason.
