The two older A320's, G-OZBB and G-MONX are to leave the Monarch fleet at the end of summer 2013 along with the A300, G-MONS.

G-OZBZ is coming from Onur Air

Yes, it has gone to the great breakers in the sky, it is an ex aircraft, it is no more.

Was in Airbus Toulouse on business last week and did notice a MON A320 with just it's tail painted awaiting engine installation and Sharklet installation too by the looks of it. I'm back there in 2 weeks so hopefully will see it fully painted.

CD and NR still seem to be in one piece at the moment If you happen to be in the Tupelo area you may even get to see them..
The company who are recycling them seem to have alot of stock to get through but I would imagine all the avionics computers will have been removed and placed into store so they would be unflyable.

The first A300 and A320 are being scrapped at Tupelo. I'm not sure about the other three A300's and the two A320's

At 25/26 years of age and with 90,000+ flying hours, I would very much doubt it.

Wonder how many hours the numerous Delta 757s have ? They are about 28/29 years old. So maybe life left in the ZB ones?

They've been very well looked after for all those years, their in a lot better shape than most 75's still flying.

According to Wikipedia, Monarch operate charter flights to Palma from Bristol, Durham Tees Valley, Edinburgh, Glasgow-International & Newcastle upon Tyne, although I barely ever see these flights operate. Do these actually operate, and if they don't I will remove them.
