APSboy - you probably know more than me about Monarch, but could you explain the economic rationale for Monarch setting up a base in East Midlands, when there's already a substantial operation at Birmingham ?

It might be that MON are basing a single A/C on CH at EMA for S09?

And not creating an 'Actual' operating base etc?

The same could be said for why they had a Stansted base circa 1991-1993/4 but they did, even with Luton HQ just up the road. Where there's need for work I guess they'll base the aircraft.

Monarch 757s

Looks like G-MONE has finally departed for its new life in the states, G-MONB still sat on remote not sure whether Monarch are having a few problems with her. Does anybody know how many 757s fed ex have got now. I'm still itching to see whether they will get anymore 757s

[pabely]

I think you will find the Monarch guys have been down to look at the ex Easy A321s again....

[Mr @ Spotty M]

They will keep looking at them until they take delivery of "IH" & "II" at the end of Feb.

[pabely]

No 75s then? sorry this was always on the cards as they put down deposits on them, no matter what the MD said.

Still NO word on summer 09 ops from EDI

Rumour has it that there wont be a summer 09 operation from EDI

[CabinCrewe]

If I understand correctly because of a slightly reduced program at an already minimal base, EDI will now be a mix of W patterns and foreign operators for S09.

Just noticed that G-OZBB now has the titles in all lower case as "monarch" and the website address is now "monarch.co.uk" on the rear fuselage.
Less catchy than "flymonarch.com". Ah well.

A 'new-look' modern branding.

Monarch Fleet

Current Monarch fleet status

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Scandic, sorry you are reading a load of tosh, no A330 or B757 on order.
To answer your question, G-MONB is out of service with Mon but as yet it has not been handed over to Fed-ex.
Still parked at MAN and ND is at Kemble being broken up.
Only 3 left in fleet, JB, NJ & NK.
