It says to be 'disposed' so i assume they are getting scrapped. Hopefully they will do something more useful with them though

I think so too. Monarch are the last european operator of the A300 and the longest operator of the 757 so hopefully they will be put into use or into storage where they can still be seen. The Viewing Park at Manchester would be good but I think the chances of that are very slim.

The Airbuses are going to be sold for parting out.
Yes Monarch are the last pax operator of the A300 in Europe, but DHL are building up a fair size cargo operation using the A300-600.

2 of the A300's are going to be parted out . One in 2012 (MONR) & one in 2013 (MONS). An A320 (MPCD) will also be parted out in 2012 .

Can't find any flying for the two in the fleet - let alone getting any more.

I have also heard that fleet plan renewals are due to be announced as well.

I I had an idea what Monarch were getting i would say more A320's & A321's.

The 757 was deployed on the LTN-GIB route at one time
Indeed - and it operated as a W pattern that was the reverse of this. I.e. MAN-GIB-LTN-GIB-MAN on Fridays.

predictable reply james

MoD is a short term strategy based on winning flights at the lowest bid.

The MoD are shortly going to fundamentally change the way they do business and this work will dry up overnight. If you think its great to pick up MoD business in the Summer, then fine, just tell us what the plan is for S13 and try selling that to the shareholders.

Grab what you can is great for now, but doesnt solve the fundamentals.

I thought Monarch was a privately owned airline, no trades shares?

If the deal this year for the MOD flights is anything like the deal the cypriots were on its pretty lucrative
