The new a/c that are being mentioned will be in Monarch colours, as they will be delivered new from the factory.
They are being leased and not brought and do not arrive as far as l am aware till next year.
Also all the 4 new a/c, may not have been originally bound for the Thomas Cook group.

Foreign fleets are not my forte, but can anyone confirm that:
Air Explore do not operate B733’s
Aurela do not operate B734’s
Small Planet do not operate B734’s

Jethro, you are correct. The Monarch short leases are for 2 x B737-300 from Aurela and Small Planet and 2 x B737-400 from Air Explore and Air Italy.
My understanding is that they won't operate in MON colours.

Jethro you are correct, as TartinTom said. the most MON will do to them is add seat headrest covers and magazines... Possibly ask crew to wear monarch uniform but unlikely.(?)
Walter, yes from an operational view i understand where you are coming from. But from a transporting hundreds of pax to a destination such as PMI/TFS/SSH they are definately good. Albeit from a cc perspective they would be a nightmare due to galley positioning etc. Also they are the last 300s in Europe surely that deserves some sadness from you?
Also they are good for quick changes when a 330 goes tech on a l/h flight ala SFB and GOI (more mod change than due to tech)

Blue Air used an Air Explore 734 last summer on their network from Bucharest. It had an excellent serviceability record, so at least give them a chance, before criticizing.

Air Finland aircraft.....
because you would need crew to fly them.
MON are only leasing to cover the end of the summer and will have plenty of capacity for the winter.
Short term lease is probably the best bet for the this peculiar start up!
