Are you sure it was an emergency landing at LTN and not just a unscheduled stop?
My guess is that it stopped on way to AGP to pick up spares to rescue G-OZBO.
Quickest way to fix aircraft and get pax back to the UK, remember AGP is closed at night at the moment.

I don't think you have quiet understood what Mr @ Spotty M has said. Obviously there would be no information re the stop in Luton. Why would they tell people other than the passengers travelling on the flight that they were going to Luton.
Try reading it again.
Mr @ Spotty M
I think you have hit the nail on the head - an unscheduled stop to collect parts for G-OZBO so it can be fixed and on it's way back to the UK ASAP.

Corfu delay
Anybody know why there is a delay with today's Corfu flight, I have just been looking at the flight info at MAN and MON 1828 due to depart 11.00 is only expected to depart at 16.30 now, is it more technical problems with an AB6?
Just curious.

Perhaps it could best to post such things in the Spectators (Spotters Corner) Thread

I give in, I will not bother with this forum again, may as well cancel my account here. A forum is for information not stupid wise cracks and as this is a Monarch issues surely this is the best thread to ask.

Quite agree, the spotters forum is far the best place for this sort of drivel. BTW i noticed a monarch aircraft at LGW this morning with its engine cowls open and engineers appeared to be working on it, could this be a serious issue?

I agree with MallorcaGuy, the above posts are just rude and ignorant and speak volumes about the posters.
MG you might find a more sympathetic ear on the spotters threads.

The chap asked a civil question and does not deserve to be treated like that. Give pprune a chance, we're not all smart alecs, really.
Also, whether intentional or not "topspotter" (ironic I hope?) you managed to imply that "Spectators Balcony" was the home for drivel. It most certainly isn't. Incidentally none of the people giving you a hard time seem to be pilots!

I'm surprised that no one has really touched on this, the press release back on Page 86 suggests that the Monarch Group have returned back to profitability by cutting staff and selling assets.
Is this not highly concerning, that a leisure travel organisation cannot make profit (and by the look of it, make a substantial loss) from it's core activities of selling flights and holidays! How will next year pan out, as assets cannot be sold year after year, and staff cannot be cut and cut without serious implications. I'm not a business analyst, but if the airline I was working for, was carrying out business practices away from it's core activities just to generate profit to survive, i'd be sending my CV out!

An a/c age may add a little to an increase in technical delays, but any mechanical item will break down on and off.
Funny when left work tonight, H127 at Luton had an easyjet A319 being worked on, as it was Tech.
As previously posted on the extra stop yesterday on the MAN-AGP, it did indeed pick up some additional spares, plus an engineer and a replacement crew. This in an attempt to get the sick aircraft out of AGP before the night closure, alas a/c became serviceable after the airport closed.
