Monarch -2

[ATIS]

With the departure of the 767, one of the 330s is permanently based in ORY until the end of the Air Med season. During the week its only sat on the ground in ORY for 1 day. And for this week, on its free day, its being utilised for the Virgin flights. ORY-MCO-UK. Certainly keeping them busy

Ive heard jet 2 are looking to get shot of two of their old sheds, hope these arnt the aircraft in question

I'm sure Monarch will do their homework on whatever they will purchase, they could of kept G-MONB AND G-MONE fot a bit longer as their only sat in the desert doing nothing

I guess EGCC7955 you were referring to the MBA flight yesterday.
I am sure the pax were very impressed with the flight as it arrived in MBA couple of hours ahead of schedule as it went direct.
Also on the plus side, the less than 50 pax had plenty of room as well.

will you ever learn chowder????

[smudgethecat]

Air China 757,s i believe

[SCANDIC]

Do you think they would lease them or buy them? I really hope they get some, it was sad to see MONB, MONE, MONC, MOND go after so long in the fleet.

[purplehelmet]

any idea if they are getting them whens it likely to be, and how long before they are in service? just thinking if they are needed for the extra summer work it needs to be pretty soon.

[SCANDIC]

They might be a while if they need maintenance and maybe painting.

[SCANDIC]

All Monarchs at Manchester have all of their engines covered over.

Wise move for any aircraft on the ramps to have all blanks fitted where possible at the moment.

[Mr A Tis]

I'd like to cancel my MON flt for Wednesday, but MON are only cancelling 24hrs in advance ( whereas Jet2 & RYR have cancelled 3 days in advance).Short notice cancellation isnt much use to me as I have to also alter other arrangements.
Anyone know if MON are allowing refunds for Wednesday yet? Their web-site is a bit "thin" on info compared to many others.
