Limit of Validity
The Limit of Validity for the pax A300-600R is 89000 Flight Hours or 51000 Flight Cycles.
This is the figure the aircraft is allowed to fly up till, the you then have to contact Airbus for a fly on.
As you can see below, the flight cycles were not an issue with G-MONR.
G-MONR Current figures are 73307 Flight Hours & 24605 Flight Cycles.
G-MPCD Current figures are 67991 Flight Hours & 25378 Flight Cycles.

So from what I can gather MON will be operating the following fleet for Summer 2013:
A300 x3
A320 x10
A321 x18
A330 x2
B757 x3
Would anyone happen to know what the A/C base allocation is expected to be? Anything like this?
BHX - 4x A320 4x A321
EMA - 2x A320
LBA - 2x A320
LGW - 2x A300 6x A321 1x A330 2x B757
LTN - 2x A320 2x A321
MAN - 1x A300 6x A321 1x A330 1x B757
A300 x3
A320 x10
A321 x18
A330 x2
B757 x3

BHX Summer 2013
TCX69
BHX require 9 aircraft for the number flights on sale. The cancellation of Milan has released four slots, which don't appear to filled as yet.
Not much reaction to the BHX hangar saga, was there any comeback to the press release by the architects which was removed first thing last Monday morning?
Have anymore A321's been fitted with extra tanks for the SSH runs, there was an earlier post stating two more were in line for them.

Why do ZB and TOM base such few aircraft at LTN? Only 7 between them in the summer.
Is it because of the shear numbers at LGW or the immense competition from FR and EZY? Lack of parking space at LTN?

I wonder why no G-ZBAC? According to G-INFO it hasn't been in use since 1989. Can UK registrations not be reused?
So only 9 A320's for next summer but 21 A321's! Good to see MON getting more aircraft.
On a separate note, G-OZBF was ferried LGW-EMA on 09Nov for repaint into the new livery

ZB @ BHX
Any new destinations in the pipeline for summer 2013 from BHX? I assume that LIS and PRG last remaining un served WW destinations from BHX would have been announced by now if they were going to be operated next year?

ZB & TOM based at Luton
The question was asked a few posts ago why both airlines have relatively few aircraft based at Luton.
Parking would certainly be one of a number of issues should either airline wish to increase numbers now although it wasn't that long ago that Monarch only based three airframes at Luton during the summer.
The lack of IT operations out of Luton (and Stansted for that matter) goes back a number of years when all of the major tour operators took a decision to concentrate their London operations out of Gatwick. Comensurate reductions then took place to the Luton operation so that in the main, only the really popular destinations are served now.
Luton had the benefit for an additional period of all IT flights to Cyprus as thy were not allowed by the Cypriot Government to operate out of Gatwick (and I think Stansted) but this restriction ceased in the run up to Cyprus joining the EU.

ZB @ BHX
Great info TCX69, much appreciated. So by your reckoning there are seven gaps through the week, that could be two new destinations at a push. We will see. It is certainly an impressive schedule. Just a question - CFU and CHQ are both charter ops AFAIK they are not listed as schedules?
