Summer 14
Oh go on then SCANDIC here is something.
G-OZBP A321 has left fleet flying BHX - EMA for painting into Aegean.... as ever credit to Jethro.
Title should show summer 15
The IT dept seems to have been cut or sacked and replaced by the mob who used to do the Ryanair timetable before their recent upgrade
.
All BHX flights in the timetable show departing and arriving at 00.00 (BHX do have night flying restrictions
)
Also the point I mentioned on the 26 November has still not been rectified where the booking engine shows ZB957 from Palma arrives every Sunday morning (August) at 04.40 but never departs and I assume an aircraft doesn't position over to Palma every week
It isn't the cross over of the days either as the Friday night Palma actually comes back at the displayed time in the early hours of Saturday. You can actually book ZB957 inbound but there isn't a ZB956 on a Saturday night in August.
The booking engine also shows numerous routes that are not operating, which is fine for aviation nuts like me but might confuse Joe Public. It even has Kefalonia, which Monarch has never operated from BHX although Small Planet might be in 2015 for Cosmos, yet the flight only isn't bookable on Monarch (Corfu and Rhodes used to open up in Avro but not this one).
It is has been like this for weeks and just wondered if they are going to change it?
I suppose the most likely answer is.....they have bigger and better things to do but as potential the first contact the booking engine should display correctly although I realise the timetable is probably a luxury.
I am looking at summer hols for 2015 but I think I will give it a miss at the moment.

A330 Maintenence
I've heard that the A330's are both in maintenence just before Xmas & that this is overrunning - any trueth in this - seems a crazy time to take aircraft out of circulation at the busiest time of the winter. Anyone know what flights are affected - or were the aircraft sitting on the ground doing nothing ?

Only one still in maintenance and the maintenance started the 3rd of November, at one of the slackest times of the low season.
Should have known the French would not complete on time or even close to being on time.

When was this the busiest time of the season for longhaul widebody high capacity leisure aircraft ? Im guessing theyre barely filling narrowbody A32X never mind an A330, Christmas or not.

I see that MON4514/5 to Banjul today and the past couple of Fridays has operated with an A321 via Faro on the O/B and Tenerife on the I/B. Goes back to an A330 next week according to The Gambia Experience.

I have noticed Monarch are not operating Luton - Rome flights for a four week period in January/early February 2015, was this always planned to happen or is this a new development?

SCANDIC.
Sorry can't answer that question.I work nights terminal side,and rarely see the airport during the daytime.
I know they are still in basic MON livery,but as for titles I don't know.

G-MONJ has had the titles removed, G-MONK still wears them. Both were parked outside MAEL this afternoon.
