Pretty sad to see it go this way for Monarch
Think the idea of the 737's was poor, and the fact they are dropping so many destinations is again poor
Its sad to see. I remember the days of MON charters with inflight entertainment etc.. one of the best airlines
Now it seems they want to be Ryanair
Flying just isn't the same

I don't think the 73's will happen, surely they need to get the company balanced and that would be easier sticking with the airbus instead of going for a totally different manufacturer. Don't rate the 737 anyway airbus all day long.

The 757's have swapped airports. DAJB to LGW AND MONJ to MAN both coming from Zakynthos. Won't be the same when their gone from the fleet.

Interesting to hear the A330's may be leaving the fleet. Although this does make me wonder, what will be operating the long haul Sanford (Orlando) flights next year as they are already available to book? An A321 perhaps?

I never thought about the range (Im relatively new to being interested in planes!)
However, that does raise another point that if the A330's go by next Summer, what will be left to operate the Orlando flights which are already on sale. Surely they couldn't be cancelled and customers refunded?

Actually an A321 would probably be possible... Great Circle Mapper with a 45 minute or less turnaround, it might not put too many passangers off. And frequency could be increased.
The A321 is not ETOPS cleared and never would be for such an operation. It is a short haul aircraft. However the B757 was cleared because of its range, but still required a tech stop in the Gander area before continuing south.

Cosmos have a history of selling destinations that Monarch don't fly to. Mauritius, Sri Lanka and recently Maldives have all been covered by BA or EK. Can't see why they wouldn't do the same to America, maybe even selling seats on the Norwegian flight.

There's an article about Greybull and Monarch - much of it similiar to what the FT wrote. There's a slightly cryptic comment in the article about administrators at PwC being ready to step if Greybull (or somebody else) declines to take over Monarch.
Can someone perhaps reassure as to what 'administrators' means in this case ? I have an idea and I'm hoping it's not the type of administration I'm thinking of.
