Doesn't look like it for the time being but it is possible. Looks like flights will still be operated from MAN, BHX, LTN and LGW. What's going to happen to DUB though as that is a charter base?
I have a feeling that G-DAJB is leaving next year. It is 24.3 years old now. I hope MON keep their A321's and 757 instead of buying 737's. Maybe they sould get some 757's off Delta as some are really young.

Hi
The pb is that the B757 has become uneconomical burning more fuel than the A321 with only marginaly few more pax.
When it comes to other operators B757, 2 facts needs to be looked into. The number of doors for high capacity config and the reinforced floor to accommodate 235 pax versus 190 for scheduled legacy airlines. So they maybe lots of A/C arrond but not suitable....And why does Delta have B757 available afterall.....

Possible Scheduled flights from Edinburgh?
If you look at their route map, under the destinations tab, it shows Edinburgh with scheduled flights to Palma & Dalaman, with charter flights to Paphos & Corfu from Edinburgh. However they're not loaded in the booking engine and all you can book from Edinburgh is the BA charter to Cagliari.
Could Edinburgh be their next base or is it a mistake?

The destination map is new!! It was re-designed to coincide with the launch of the new look website.
- It says that from BJV they only go to LTN. They now do MAN, BHX and LGW from there scheduled from there now as well.
- It says from PFO, they only do charter flights. They are scheduled flights now
- The new routes to SSH, AYT and DLM are not on there yet. (Thet are to MAN and LGW but MAN - AYT is already operating and this is on the map)

Gibraltar/luton-luton/gibraltar
For anybody interested just returned from a week in the UK and a few points on the flights etc. Check-in at Gib was a dream for a change 2 minutes at most and no hassle about bags. Aircraft arrived on time and departed on time - about two thirds full, arrived at Luton 10 minutes early. Fortunately not many people at the UK Border post so strait through - a bit lucky there me thinks - other times being stuck for a quite a time.
Luton inundated with executive aircraft for the Champions League game.
On return check-in again 2 minutes with security not much more. Surprised to see the departure lounge packed on a Wednesday afternoon on 1 June although it was half term and there was a lot of children about. Again aircraft left on time and arrived 15 minutes early. The first Wednesday evening flight and it was full.
Overall could not grumble at either end but the new terminal at Gib will not be in commission this year I think and sorry to hear that Manchester will not be operating for the winter. The easy Liverpool service must have creamed off some traffic. Also I see that the Luton winter schedule is much reduced which to me is a bit of a surprise but they can quickly add flights if necessary. Hope of interest to some.

Poor Malaga Passengers
Hi guys.
Today there has been a big problem with G-OZBO (I was not on this flight). It was operating flight ZB654 to Malaga from Manchester and there were no problems and it arrived at Gate C36 on time. However at Malaga, there was a problem. Don't know what it is wrong with it yet. It was then moved to Gate C40 (remote stand) and those poor passengers had to wait in Pier C for a long time. Plus there is passport control to get into Pier C so they were not allowed out. Finally it seems that the Monarch staff had had enough as G-OZBO is still having problems. So they have decided to use G-OZBT which had arrived from Birmingham, so G-OZBO is going to Birmingham tonight and it is going to be delayed for at least four hours.
Poor people. Anyone know what is wrong with G-OZBO? (probably a technical fault I Assume)
Also flight ZB660 from Manchester to Malaga this afternoon had to make an emergency landing in Luton. Anyone know why.

In other words same as why many other flights, with many airlines, have delays!.
Welcome to the real world. It could get worse before it gets better!!
