I would imagine that the new routes will operate from all 4 of its main bases, but some may not operate from some bases. MAN is the airline's largest base (for scheduled flights as well) and the only route that is not operated from MAN is CFU. although LGW was the airlines' smallest scheduled base there has recently been a lot more routes being added to it. For example BCN & AYT have just been added. Plus SSH will only be operated from MAN & LGW for the time being.

I was on a ZB flight today and i was talking with the crew to see what the fleet replacements are. Apparently, the 757's are going and being replaced with either 737-800's or A319's

Yes the B757, A300 & A330 are going, we all know that.
What we don't know is WHEN!!!!
It could be 2012, 2013 ,2014, 2015 and so on.
The only thing we know for sure is it will not be 2011.

They told me that the 757 could be withdrawn either late this year but they are still unsure about this yet. Apparently they are going because they cost too much to run.
I know the 300's are going to but i don't think the 330 are?

Manchester may be the biggest base in the simmer but shrieks a lot in the winter. Whereas Gatwick keeps going in the winter with a lot of adhoc and the ski flights.Therefore Gatwick is the biggest base...I think.

Anyway back to reality. Any news on the fleet? or new bases for next yr?

Hi
New here. Please be gentle with me, and I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong place.
Does anyone know when Monarch cancelled their LTN-ACE flights for November and why?

I would assume (although I was always told not to assume anything) that competition from Ryanair on the route must have a lot to do with it. Monarch have cut back a lot of scheduled flights this coming winter from numerous airports. One example - no flights to Mahon from Luton and much reduced to Malaga and Gibraltar (wonder about the latter as loads have been very good lately but maybe the yield has been poor and that is what really matters). Hope this helps.
