Hi

Does anyone know where the 16 A321s will be based this year?

[partyboy_uk]

The Monarch fleet is based as follows:

A321

BHX 4
DUB 1 (Fri-Sun)
LGW 4 (one which is Mon-Thur)
LTN 2
MAN 6

A320

DUB 1
LTN 3
MAN 1

B757

LGW 2
MAN 1

A300

LGW 2
MAN 2 (one of these operates at LGW on Sat and Sun)

A330

LGW 1
MAN 1

To add to the above, one Airbus A330 will apparently operate from Denmark a couple of days per week to Florida. See here

I think DUB is due to have 2 A321, think it was behind MON dropping EDI. It has being said on here many times. And which ever a/c both will only be there Fri - Sun.

[partyboy_uk]

no, the EDI aircraft is the result of all the extra flights being operated out of LTN.

[Airbus321-200]

The original plan for DUB was 2 x 321s but it seems that plan has changed to 1 x 321 and 1 x 320.

2012 aircraft

Where will the 3 aircraft come from for ema/brs/ncl for the 2012 summer programme, will it see a reduction at other bases or new aircraft.

[Mr @ Spotty M]

You need to read the article again, it only said they were exploring the feasibility of operating aircraft from more regional airports, in 2012.

[AP1995]

what is the captains tour or somthing on the monarch 757 i have seen photos of it in australia etc does any know what its about?

[TartinTon]

It's Captains Choice...a series of round-the-world VIP flights that Monarch operated last year..not sure if it's going to be repeated this year.

[Airbus321-200]

There were 3 trips this winter season. I think they are almost finished.

[Mr @ Spotty M]

The aircraft arrives back Sunday afternoon into LTN and the ferries up to MAN for the decals to be removed.
My understanding is, will be repeated next winter.

[PilotOfficerPrune]

Can anyone on here explain the burgeoning number of Directors, Chief Executives, Chief Operating Officers, Directors of Learning, Programme Directors etc., etc., not to mention high-priced consultants and office-based pilots at Monarch, especially in these straitened times? What do they all do?

Can anyone explain why the 'Leadership Team' (now there's an interesting title) might find it necessary to go on a junket to Malaga for a couple of days? What can be discussed in Malaga that could not equally be discussed in the Holiday Inn Express at Luton (for example). Leadership team? Isn't that what was put in place at BA Citiexpress / BA Connect not long before its disappearance? Ex BA? Hmmmmm.............

I thought i saw a Monarch jet leaving Auckland a week or so ago-guess it was.
Couple of years ago a Thomson jet was in Christchurch--this place gets more like home every day!!!

[take-off]

Have monarch been suffering with some delays on sunday? having checked on aena around spain Mon seemed to have more than their fair share of delays Manchester bound seem to have suffered most?

Not complaining just they seems to be having a bad day

[Leonard320]

Monarch did suffer some delays yesterday including a overnight stop on the LTN-ALC due to the aircraft going tech.

Sometimes aircraft go tech, problem is half the time when one goes, others follow.

As you say a bad day.

Thanks

[Mr @ Spotty M]

The one on the ALC-LTN did not go tech in the normal sense, the lifting type tug in ALC got stuck on the NLG and damaged both nose wheels.
Wheels had to come from LGW and then crew out of hours.
As they say s*** happens.

Was watching yesterday afternoon while reading a Ph.D thesis at that gate on the south side at LTN - trying to work out the reaction ot the 847 problem. Presumably you sent the Larnaca aircraft to TFS but had to leave before I saw how you resolved the Larnaca - and did the 9932 eventually go to MAN?

Monarch A300's

Bit of a spotters question but what routes do Monarch use their A300's on? I know there's only a few left but noticed today they still operate out of LGW
