"Highlights of Monarch's Plan According To Commercial Director:
Monarch are to add 4 more aircraft to their fleet this summer to enable them to operate the new flights from birmingham and what not, with the fleet rising to 38 next summer.
They are also looking at opening a new regional base in the UK next year - LBA?
They are also looking at standardizing their current fleet.

New Base: I would guess at Leeds Bradford, Bristol or Liverpool as they are trying to be a low cost carrier and these are low cost hubs, especially Liverpool. Bristol or Liverpool would be the most likely I think.
Fleet: My money would be on a full A320 series fleet in the next few years.
They need to scrub up on their punctuality because low cost airlines have the best OTP and monarch just cant compete at the moment.

CWL has been speculated in the last few months too ! Currently unexploited by low-cost based carriers. Depends if MON/ZB wish to compete with FR/EZY 60 miles away in BRS !
My bets are on CWL, LBA or EDI.

There was talk, about a year ago, that PIK was to become a base for an unspecified airline (Monarch was the general rumour) but the "quality" management at Prestwick decided to put all the eggs in one basket with Barrhead Travel. Could PIK be on the cards?

EMA Capacity
I hear that MON have wet leased the Air Explore B734 for the remainder of the Summer.
I guess the programme is either just not working or this is to cover the shortfall when EMA comes on line later in Summer......Spotty M prob in good place to pick this one up.

MON305 MAN-SFB
This mornings MON305 to SFB (I believe G-SMAN) that was due to go at 0915 is delayed....heavily! No information available yet to passengers but I've heard they could be kept overnight and go tomorrow instead. There is an issue with the oil in one of the engines apparently....

MON305 MAN-SFB
Based on the 'estimated' arrival time tomorrow, it is running approx.10 hours late which would give a departure at around 19.00 hours.
However next information on departure is at 17.00.

Monarch - 3
Is it my imagination or are Monarch having a lot of faulty aircraft issues at the moment?? Last week there was the linate flight that went tech twice n then ended up over this area burning off fuel to return again . Plus a couple of others . Let's hope monarch don't end up having a nasty accident due to all these issues
