NR will depart to the USA on Nov 5th using up its last available 'cycle' before becoming bean cans.
I remember it arriving from Compass Airlines in Oz!

On Monarch pulling out of Malpensa, surely this will become a common problem in the coming years, as the new plan is to concentrate more so on short haul routes rather than growing their long haul network.
The majority of routes are already dominated by easyJet and Ryanair; companies that have become experts at trashing the competition in recent years. Are there any gaps in the market?
Because of this, I really cannot forsee a long term future for the airline, unless they vastly differentiate themselves from the competition or adopt the same business model.
Have Monarch officially cancelled (completely) their order for the Boeing 787-8? No possible change of heart?

Can I also ask which base is losing an A300 for S13? MAN or LGW?

So how will Monarch cover the slots left by the removal of the Milan routes?
Totally agree with Dannyboy39. I see Easyjet Kicked them out of the Milan Malpensa route from gatwick! and also I see that they have reduced their programme to Barcelona next summer aswell!. Even LGW-ALC peak summer programme 2013 is showing just one rotation a day mid week vs. Easyjets 4-5 flights a day.
And Monarch says that they are trying to take hold of the market!!!!!
I dont know about that!
I just think Monarch product is too similar to their rivals or not different enough!

So far this weekend they seem to have a Titan 146, and also the Titan 767,the 767 doing its first flight in Europe since the MOD hired in the Portuguese to take our troops to the Falklands.

There was a delay on BHX-LPA but that seems to have been resolved although there must have been some problem (Slot, Crew or aircraft etc) as the aircraft was on the ground for 3 hours (BN).
Not sure about Gatwick but there is Calima 738 inbound now from PMI on ZB227. BHX has a third Monarch A320 replacing the Aerula, which seems to be here most of the time but gaps are now appearing in the schedule as the wind-down has started in readiness for winter, which should help if delays arise or at least it should at BHX.
Saying that two new routes start the week after next but others are reducing.

The Titan 767 came in from Faro at 19.00 and presumably will be used again tonight at LGW by MON-Still a few delays, but BA have had quite a few too!

Both "NR" & "CD" are on maintenance from 5th till the 11th Nov in BRU.
I believe a/c have to be in Tupelo by 15th November.
With regards the B757s, the answer is No as far as l know.
