Having just been on Man Air Departures I noticed there's 2 ZB's to SSH within 30 mins of each other, the 684 @ 0900 & the 556 @ 0930. The 684 is an AB6, I'm no expert but wouldn't it have been easier from a business point of view to combine these flights rather than operate 2 scheds so close together or is there a greater load of pax travelling to egypt than what one AB6 can accomodate?

The second new A320 is due into service tomorrow.
The plan is for both new A320s to be based in BHX for the summer, with G-OZBX ferrying to BHX late tonight.
The second one is operating from MAN for the time being, but will end up in BHX shortly.

Mr @ Spotty M
Cheers for the information.
BHX goes from three based today to five tomorrow and six on 1st May.
BHX departures already show Sunday departures with ten flights including Venice, Rome & Milan new plus Palma & Paphos re-instated.
Monday sees Almeria and Dalaman restart and Mahon on Tuesday.
Quite a week and lets hope it works out well.

Yes the majority of the new routes start tomorrow and I hope it goes well.
The new routes should be working on flightradar24 as i did send then about two months ago, as long as they are not using random callsigns.

These new destinations are excellent, let's just hope they're not all on remote stands whilst Thomson bag the airbridges for themselves.
Monarch have a section on their website offering cheap deals on their new routes between now and mid-June. Judging by the prices, which are very reasonable, MON are not filling these routes as well as their established ones.
I think people place too much emphasis on airlines paying for airbridges. I'm pretty sure that many airports don't charge for airbridge equipment. Certainly at Easyjet there are places where airbridges are used religiously, sometimes, not very often and never at all.

I only made the point of airbridges as we all know T2 at Man isn't that big & whatwith RYR operating many destinations in the summer alongside TOM & MON & that's not including the US carriers who take up an airbridge for 2 hours at a time there might be a bit've a squeeze sometimes if everybody wants an airbridge, say in the early morning when there quite a lot of departures,MON alone have 14 ZB's leaving Man throughout the day today.

SSH flights
Regarding EGCC7955 and chaps2011's discussion about the two SSH flights at 0900 and 0930, I've done boarding for the 2 SSH flights in the past 2 days (Sunday/Monday) and both were 100% full. I think the aircraft has a config of 347 and both flights had 347 and 351 (including infants) so were incredibly busy. The demand is certainly there for those flights, the Alicante and Tenerife flights at the moment are also doing very well and I've only seen about 3/4 seats available at most for the past few days.
Monarch do you use most of the airbridge stands first thing in the morning, we had 7 flights leaving this morning and they were all on the airbridges and all were very busy apart from PMI.

My nephew asked me a question about the new ZB routes & I have to say I didn't know so I thought I'd ask it here. He asked would the aircraft receive a fire service salute as they're a new sched operator or won't they as they've already served these destinations as charters?
I know I'll get the 'does it really matter?" but hey-ho, does anybody know the answer?

jamesferns - sorry, can't help you there, I have no idea where the crew offices are.
EGCC7955 - as far as I know, I've not heard or seen any salutes for the new routes, they seem to have started well though. Bookings atm across all the flights in the morning seem to be very solid, virtually every flight has been full.
