On a lighter note....the advert underneath this thread is for "MONARC" airlines...whoever that might be....spellcheck desperately needed.

Are Monarch operating from EDI 2010 ?

I had originally thought no but on checking some holiday company websites I see MON listed as flying to a few places midweek such as Dalaman , Corfu and Paphos .
Any firm info - these flights were showing as Iberworld at one stage but can't see them basing at EDI

Given the dreadful state of their aircraft boeing eng i dont think super human feats are performed very often in jet 2 land, perhaps they should consider letting monarch carry out their line maintainence they just might be able to sort out those awfull 757,s whos cabins actually do fall apart around you as you travel

Ah, but you must rember SimonChowder that Monarch have had their A300's from new!! Surely that must give their award winning engineers a distinct advantage over those impoverished carriers who have to trawl around on the used market?!!

Exactly the point ,when a aircraft or anything else for that matter gets to twenty years old the condition it is in is down in the main to the quality of care it has received through its life, the fact monarchs old A300,s continue to give good service is a testament to the high quality of maintenance they have received through the years from monarch engineers.
I do appear to have touched a nerve with my praise for the quality of monarch staff , however believe me i have no axe to grind, im employed by a recruitment consultancy and my views only reflect the high regard the industry in general has for monarch technical staff

Dont worry FMGC - I understand whats going on, that doesnt mean it has to make sense.

I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned the 717,000 - and no, I'm not talking about a souped up DC9...

Monarch A320 return to Gatwick

Does anyone know the 'technical fault' that occurred on Monarch flight ZB 742 en route to Málaga on 22/10/09 which had to turn round for an emergency landing at Gatwick?

Could well be an A330 or a re-configured A300. It is a wide body with 3-3-3 configuration with extra legroom section at the front of the aircraft.

Thanks for that.

Also noticed that the ZB flights from Luton to FUE stop for a few weeks in December...Was this planned like this, or is there not many advance bookings for this flight over this quiet period??

At the moment it seems to be:

1 x 763
1 x A30
1 x A33
4 x A321
2 x A320

757 seems to be in and out from LGW.

B767 will be go on lease again shortly, some flying out of MAN until then and that will be only a few flights.
The following should end up operating from MAN this winter more or less.
1 A330, 1 A300, 1 B757, 5 A321 & 1 A320.

How are the long haul charters doing this winter from LGW & MAN ? Especially to India and the Carib.

I would imagine the likes of MON, TOM & TCX would be feeling the heat from the LHR schd operators.

Man - Mba

hi all,

can anyone give me a little information on the following route please. i have someone looking at booking this as part of a holiday, and the flight departing 03 jan is operated with Monarch. it shows as having a refuelling stop in Basle, and client wants to know if it's one where they get off the plane whilst refuelling, or sit with doors open & seatbelts undone. Not 100% sure myself as i have had both situations happen.

any info would be greatly appreciated.

regards

HXdave

It is not just a refuel stop as it also picks pax up, it is a split load.
My guess is that you will have to stay on board, but you never know, they might allow you off but l very much doubt it.
A/C originally planned as an A330, but it might change and l will know nearer the date.
