Monarch - 3

[Mr @ Spotty M]

Its not confirmed 100% yet, but as near as dam it.
The A300 do not always cover the A330s when on maintenance, sometimes they will sub in to cover, as they have done in the past with a TCX A330.
By the way Scandic, your beloved B757s will be gone by the end of Nov 2014.

[MKY661]

So are there any plans to have an Enthusiasts Day trip on the A300 before they go? Lost of people on the Monarch Blog really want this as well.

[SCANDIC]

You have to agree though that the 757's have been a fantastic aircraft better than the 321's or the 737-800's you can go anywhere with a 75.

[ZeBedie]

Airlines are run by bean counters now and their definition of 'fantastic aircraft' will be very different to yours.

Bye Bye A300

This information you have regarding the A300's is incorrect to an extent, whilst a departure from service before summer 2014 is planned no deals etc have been signed as to there departure. They could get one last fling yet!

[Mr @ Spotty M]

My understanding is apart from ZBZ, seating changes delayed until the "C" checks start.

Does anybody know which routes the A300 will be operating out of MAN this winter? I.e from NOV 13'

[Alloy]

Not sure of the the answer to where the last A300s will be based, if its LGW then there may be no further MAN A300 flights come November.

[on time all the time]

The last 2 A300 will be based at LGW
I looked at the timetables 23 to 29th dec and no sign of this a/c in MAN.
It will have a very light program in LGW with BJL Tues and Frid, , 2 flights each on Saturdays (GNB and GVA). and one flight each on Sunday.
I also looked on the 15/02/14 and there will only be 1 left. It should exit too in March
This is not taking into account potential adhoc business.

[Mr @ Spotty M]

One goes the end of Jan and the last one the end of March.
The first one "NS" should be November time.

It was hinted at a few months ago, but what is the latest news about Monarch staying in the longhaul game in the future? Still talk about potential A350s down the road - or is that just a pipe dream?

It is a shame Monarch did not stick with its previous 787 order - the 787 would have looked very nice in Monarch colours....
