Then Monarch need to provide the facts, as you say "not having the facts" is fueling the speculation, Monarch are the only ones able to provide claritity and failure to do so will only relsult in further speculation. Are you seriously telling me they don't know why those flights were chartered? I have spent the last 4 years working for Monarch so am more invested in this than anyone and refuse to take abuse from people. But I have said in previous posts it is far from a stable airline, we have been told constantly this year how bad things have been, further cost cutting, spending freezes, consultants being drafted in, high level managers leaving this 40 million pound profit is completely new news. Unfortunately I do believe there was some level of thruth to these rumours how much, who knows. But having worked for XL in the past and a survivor of Monarch's last bankruptcy I think we need answers and quickly!

Given that there seems to be clear evidence that the charters that started the rumour mill were booked by the CAA, I would have thought that some responsibility lies with them to clarify matters. If it was nothing to do with Monarch then they should say so and quickly; if it was, but the matter has been resolved, then they should say so jointly with Monarch. Saying nothing just drags the rumour mill on, to the potential detriment of thousands of customers and employees of Monarch.
Jerry Scott, a Business Live reader, has landed at Manchester airport on another airline. He says staff on his flight told him:

Because the CAA arranged these rescue flights and the info leaked out on social media BEFORE the airline is actually declared bankrupt and could have been given more time, they are now in an even more precarious position?

Ref the UAL flight going to TFS

Perhaps this chart might give you a big clue as to why the aircraft's ground speed has reduced.

Only doing 501 kts now. Maybe they've slowed down on company orders because the crisis is abating?

Did you read the rest of my post?
Thanks for illustrating my point though.

It lasts for 12 months, this one expires on September 30th. Renewal looks a fairly expensive task too! Based on your financial performance and financial reserves you pay an application fee aswell as a cost per passenger you predict carrying over the next year.

Goodness, a/c reduces speed by 5kts and it's a controversy. Can't seem to find UA744 on flight radar, though it says delayed on TFS arrivals board. Maybe crew had ACARS update to switch off xponder before pprune talks monarch into the financial grave..... joking btw for those who can't tell.As far as I'm aware flightradar is probably not accurate to within +/- 5kts.
All the best to the workers at MON!

Sadly I think it has been lost on most, such is the apperrent level of dopeyness on this thread. You illustrate the point very well.
It astounds me that people have nothing better to do other than cast doom and gloom on Internet forums based on quarter-truths and bizzare speculation.

Guys wake up to the reality that we are discussing a company that is owned by a brutul vulture capitalist that has a history of buying basket cases and then putting them into administration. They did it with the old Morrison's My Local stores only a few months ago. Loss against profit = less tax. This combined with Monarch needing an urgent cash injection, Winter coming, oil price rising, a stupid nonsensical and expensive decision to change fleet and the charter flights points to one thing. Monarch is on the brink. All the best.

Usually when an airline bites the dust, the first people to know (and take actions), are often the fuel companies and airports, (for non-payment of fees). So clearly no problem there... it seems like Greybull have decided this is just a good time for them to exit!

Monarch will not go bust today so this talk about charter aircraft is irrelevant.
What this does show however is an airline in crisis, with its backer Greybull not willing to stand behind it until the issue makes the BBC news. And even then, they still don't appear to have committed hard notes.
Monarch now has to answer the question of why book flights with us, when there's a greater risk of us going bust.

Maybe Monach has been saved by the opening of the Chinese banks overnight (UK time)? Hanian were rumoured to have been in negotiations and maybe these went to the 'wire' overnight?

FlightRadar only shows MON aircraft heading north to the UK, not a single southbound flight showing on FR24 at the moment. Is that in line with the regular schedule for a monday early afternoon?
