I believe an engine stalled whilst in the cruise on a flight from Malaga to Manchester yesterday (G-OZBO) and had to divert to Bordeaux and requires an engine change.
I guess this is the knock on effect from that.

In Dublin an Airbus 321 had a a tecional problem which caused major delays today and they will continue tomorrow.
DUB - ACE - dep 07:00 - departed at 15:05
DUB - LPA - dep 17:00 - delayed estimating 01:15 (Sunday)

I think another aircraft was brought to DUB to operate the routes but I'm not sure.

Just wondered if anyone knew what the technical issues were that caused a ZB flight from AGP to divert to Bordeaux yesterday on route to MAN?

Hello,
I recently flew back from Cancun with Monarch (A330 booked hol through Thomas Cook)
On the flight back me and the mrs were told we couldnt sit together but I could upgrade to an extra leg room seat. Being a nervous flyer I opted to pay and for only $80 USD (which accordingly was a 241 offer for us- very generous) we were able to sit together in row 43.
Can anyone please tell me how much extra room I received in comparison to the usual seats?

Lgw - Ibz
It is excepted that MON are to have flights during the winter from LGW - IBZ. Since Ryanair dropped the route between LSTN - IBZ. The tourist authorities for both Ibiza and the Balearics and they added that negotiations were 'practically finished' and it looks likely that Monarch would use Gatwick airport,

Monarch seem to be doing a good job at filling the locos gaps this winter - LTN-ALC and now LGW-IBZ.
Bet the commercial sharks at EZY and RYR must have sound commercial reasons for not flying thses routes this winter- they'll be back next summer so I hope it doesn't rebound on Monarch.

Monarch
Hi
Does anyone know why the Manchester - Tenerife has been rescheduled on the 6th November? I booked in January, 12 seats.....we now arrive TFS at 1830 instead of 1355. More or less writes of the Saturday night. I wish I had paid the extra tenner with Jet2 now. First time flights wilth Monarch and we are effectively 5 hours late. Never had a reschedue with Jet2. Any ideas why this one has come about?

Monarch director leaves
From travelmole.com 08 Sept
A good guy leaving to hopefully resurface elsewhere in the industry. Suggests scheduled flights more important now than charter roots of MON.
QUOTE
Alan Murray, managing director of First Aviation and a director of Monarch Airlines since July 2003, is to leave the group on October 31.
A statement from Monarch said he was leaving “having earlier expressed his desire to do so”.
The group is now in the process of appointing a new head of the charter division and said a further announcement will be made in due course.
“Until this time Alan's responsibilities will be assumed on an interim basis by a management group including Tim Jeans, managing director of Monarch Airlines Limited, Kevin George, managing director Airline Operations, and John Romo, director and general manager of First Aviation,” said the statement.
The Monarch Group recently announced a widespread restructuring management team following a review at the start of this year.
“The Group Executive Committee thanks Alan for his contribution to the charter business of Monarch Airlines these past seven years and wishes him every success in the future,” added the statement.

Okay, I was a bit harsh, but there are serious cash flow issues, and very delayed payements to contractors.
The reasoning behind the new winter flights are as mentioned to fill the gap caused by other carriers, but primarily to keep a cash flow. They have looked 2 months down the line and thought crap. There are the invoices flying in from all angles for the last weeks of the summer yet hardly any money coming in. I can guarantee that these 'new' flights will not return for next winter, serving that particular market in the winter is very marginal stuff, very little leisure traffic, primarily business and mainly ex pats using it as a shuttle service. These regular shuttle service passengers are crafty, and perfectly suited to Ryanair. They only need to take cabin baggage, don't bother with inflight meals and don't really care where they sit. Ancillary revenues on these flights will be minimal, and will no doubt operate at a loss, Ryanair can make them pay, other carriers such as Monarch, Jet2 and bmi baby can't. Though as i said, they are purely there to fiddle the bank sheet and keep the funds coming in.
