Monarch have a couple of flights with 16 hour delays from Manchester today.

Looks like they have a problem with an AB6.

I would be very surprised if they sold them to someone else what would they use for their long haul routes. Where do you reckon the 757's will go when they are retired in 2014, they've been a fantastic work horse for Mon.

The two A330s have been sold and leased back.
What long haul routes?
The only long haul route they have is the GND and my understanding is that goes around October time.
All the others are charter and they come and go, mostly go, apart from the MOD flying and the hajj this year.

Either this or the scrapyard i think. Although since Monarch have operatedd the 757 longer than any other airline I hope they are put into good use.

Grrr

My flight back to Luton from Palma yesterday was delayed as a result of the outbound dropping off a replacement window and engineers at Toulouse. A departure out of Ibiza the night before had to divert in there, thus the need for MAEL to mount a rescue mission.

I was sat in the terminal looking at the flight to take us home on FR24 wondering why it was descending into Toulouse.

Yes, I hope so too but surely there can't be much life left in them now. Whatever their fate, they have served Monarch well.

The B757s will be returned to their owners and it is up to them what they do with them.

Is it the mod contract for the winter again. How many more aircraft do you think they'll get if their opening up all these new bases. I think that leasing those old shed 73's was a waste of money they could of get a much better aircraft like a 320.

As stated, the intended 737's appear to have a "bit of age" about them. Shame they could have got the 2 ex Air Finland 757's that have been sat in Perpignan for the last few weeks, bit late now though, already spoken for.

Another bad day for Monarch? I believe the outbound morning PMI diverted into LIG which has delayed the outbound afternoon PMI. Not sure about the others though...

TCX69; perhaps you're out fishing as the weather is so nice at the moment.
Most ZB's are running around on time today, so get your facts straight before broadcasting nonsense.
