Possibly planned maintenance on one of the 330s if they have given you this much notice. Maybe they are getting all the planned work out of the way before it goes to the haji.

Maybe unrelated but ZB have had some monster delays on routes operated by A300 from Manchester these past couple of days.

Its due to one of Monarch's A330 being tied up on Hajj pilgrimage work on behalf of Garuda Indonesia.

They are not only leasing a A330, but some other fleets are also doing work for the Hajj Pilgrimage, including the B757 from what I can see on the scheduling system. Apparently the A320/1 fleet may also be helping with slips into SSH and LCA for crew rest/tech stop.

If its capacity/flexibility thats required, could Monarch not try and get hold of more A330s? I understand these are sometimes used on high density short haul when the need arises.

There will certainly be a few coughs when some people realise just what the 787 operating costs will actually be, wise move for mon to cancel IMO

Thats some increase, guess the dreadful summer must have helped, good to see all the same, top outfit, nice to see them doing well.

Hear there going into EMA and LBA which must be a bit of a worry for jet 2

Monarch's performance

OP, is there any way of identyfying the performance of the various bases Monarch use?

Given the rapid expansion of flights and destinations from BHX do its figures there match the performance stats? I might be an indication as to where Monarch's future growth may occur.

Monarch flight from Nice to Birmingham has apparently gone off the runway, Flight was operated by Aurela.

Breaking news so there is currently no link to a website for the story.
