Monarch -2

[harer92]

Correct. MON574/575 was operated by G-OZBB (A320) and arrived back into MAN at 13.49Z

How and where did you find this information.

Also is there a place where i can get Monarchs flight schedules.

Thanks

Yes that is true , it had the same reg G-DIMB when it was in My Travel colours .Don't know how long Monarch have it till it goes back to TCX

I do believe that G-DIMB is due to be returned to Thomas Cook in April 2010 which would explain why Monarch are looking at suitable aircraft to replace it for Spring 2010

I don't know if it has been asked before, But will they be a 757 based at MAN for this summer?

DUB, & LGW seem to be the regular haunts for the 3 surviving 757's.

If so, I would like to try and fly on one out of MAN.

MAN seems to be becoming A321 territory but MAN without MON 757s would be like Corrie without Betty's hotpot!

[partyboy_uk]

Yes, there will be a B757 based at MAN this year.

One based in MAN and the other two in LGW, with a LGW one operating a couple of days from EMA.

[sam1993]

Does anyone have a list of which aircraft MON will base where for summer 2009?
Any help would be much appreciated.

DUB will have an A321 instead of a B757. They're getting rare already

Monarch Schedules

where can i get hold of monarch schedules for the summer season

[simonchowder]

The monarch website might be worth a gander, flew out of man on a newish A321 last week far nicer cabin than those grotty old 757,s the quicker they all get replced by new airbuses the better imo

[Mr @ Spotty M]

DUB will have more than one A321 for the summer, they get various numbers for each day of the week as follows.
Mon x1, Tue & Wed x0, Thur x2 and Fri, Sat & Sun x3.

[londonmet]

Why no B757 or A300 in DUB this summer? Is it purely due to the low loads on the routes? Their economy is buggered after all....

[viscount702]

The cardinal sin of all engineering entusiasts. NEVER say a 757 with THOSE engines should be replaced!

Must agree, inside is nicer on Airbus model but nothing compared to the engines on those 75's - send you off that runway quicker than sh*t off a shovel!

[simonchowder]

Havent a clue about engines as long as they keep turning and burning im happy, however daft as it sounds if the cabin is well maintained i assume the important bits are as well , just out of interest are the engines on the A321 different fron the B757?, must confess they look the same to me
(forgive me im just an office bound "shiny arse "who knows jack about the techie bits)

[smudgethecat]

the 757,s are fitted with the RR RB 211,s the A321.s are fitted with IAE V2500,s (the a320,s are i think CFM 56 powered)

[MUFC_fan]

Neither do I. All I know is that those 757's carry the beasts that are RR engines - truly fantastic British engineering.

[londonmet]

As a trainer on the B757 (that has flown the B737/A320) the engines on the B757 will get you out of ANY trouble you might find your self in. They're seriously overpowered.

Well a lot of the V2500 is RR if that helps!
