According to the Travel Weekly, "the [Monarch] group is to start co-operating through Monarch Scheduled with Spanish airline Air Europa, part of the Spanish travel giant Globalia"
"Mantegazza revealed the two airlines are to open some new routes together between Madrid and the UK, codesharing and selling in both markets."
This is alongside news that Cosmos will soon start selling other operators products online. Now I didn't see that one coming, but a good move I think. Too many people wonder off to other websites because Cosmos just doesn't have what they want.
What's more, it looks like Mantegazza is stepping forward.

I complimented the work of MAEL.
And do appreciate how hard they work. I never stated otherwise.
But unfortunately, Monarch have a slight reputation for their delays out of Manchester at the moment and therefore asked an innocent question as to why.
So kindly, back off, obviously it's due to a spell of bad luck then?

Easyjet Jack -
The reason people didn't take too kindly to your comments has several layers to it.
The first being your screen name - you obviously work for or have a huge liking for our competition.
The second is the questions you asked. They could and have come across as having a dig at ZB. And when you mention delays and engineering etc it can get peoples backs up.
If ZB staff or fans went onto the EZY forum and said that EZY have a reputation for bad pilots it would pee a few people off over there too.
It's not a run of bad luck i dont think. It's just the airline industry. The summer season will always see more delays.
Don't take anything said on here to heart.

Topspotter, ha, okay, whatever.
Airbus321-200, thank you for your mature and informative response. I understand exactly where you're coming from.
It seems that in the future however, I can't mention anything that may not be positive about Monarch. Shame that.
Also, for the last and final time, I WASN'T having a dig at Monarch, I love Monarch, great company. For the record, I have never "bigged up" Easy over Monarch, ever.
So please, next time, can we have an adult discussion about things; Airbus321-200's response a prime example. Everyone else needs to stop being so sensitive!

The MAD route from MAN sounds like it could fit if the Air Europa deal works out. And monarch have said they are looking at Italy for new destinations so those rumours could have some weight behind them.
As for a base in belfast. Not a chance in my eyes. I think it would be great if they did but looking at the business i don't see any new bases except for charter bases and the possiblity for UK mainland regional bases. It was mentioned a few months back about NCL and 2 others i cannot remember.

Its also been suggested that Bordeaux will be launched from MAN too.
I suppose there could be some truth in it, as seen as Monarch have said they will open routes from MAN to France and Italy, and the fact that MAN have said that all the routes bmibaby will be leaving in 2012 will continue to be served.
Monarch also said increased Spain/Portugal destinations will be opened, so MAD with the AEU co-operation, and maybe OPO as seen as ZB operate FAO, and with TAP being quite cheap, MAN-LIS is pretty much covered.

Best thing is i suppose in hindsight is to not feed the troll by reacting.
Bit hard however when a respected hard working and very professional section of the aviation community are disrespected by some ignoramus who clearly has no inkling of the realities of life at the sharp end of aviation
Without the sterling efforts of the engineers my job would a damn sight harder thats for sure

Operations from Belfast
I suspect Jet2, Air Lingus and Easyjet at BFS (with the odd Aer Europa and Onur etc and FR at LDY) plus Baby at BHD have the NI market pretty much tied up and would make it very difficult for anyone else to make sufficient impact to make money opeing from Belfast
