Monarch - 3

[MKY661]

I know the A320's with Sharklets are being based at Leeds/Bradford and the Ex Cyprus A321's are being based in East Midlands but will the three other A321's and G-OZBY be based anywhere particular this summer or will they just run like the rest of the fleet and be based anywhere?

Thanks

They've got an aircraft from Onur Air!
Are they really that desperate?
At least it'll keep the engineers in overtime!

OnurAir

I've personally flew with Onurair on many occasions, their flights were always on time, cabin was clean, unlike some and the cabin crew were also very friendly, complimentary sweets are handed out during boarding- so from personal experience I would say that you are stereotyping

[VickersVicount]

yes the maintenance provided by Iberia and Turkish is quite well respected

[munster]

I had the pleasure of looking after some of their aircraft a while ago. The reps answer to any defect that would need addressing soon was always Istanbul!

Charlie, was that before or after they were banned from operating in Europe?

Look at a map Monarch....please

as reported in the Gibraltar forum,,,Monarch advertising people all need a geography lesson. The latest e mail from the carrier trying to entice us to buy fllights with them says that Gib is an island...oh dear!

Last time was about 4 years ago so I'm assuming before :P, that maybe was why they pulled NCL-BJV, they were good flight times as well

there was a short term ban from Dutch air space a few years ago, is that what you're on about?

5B-DCO currently flying over Germany towards UK using callsign '5BDCO'

The Leeds based G-ZBAA seems to be spending a lot of time flying to/from Manchester today

[AP1995]

it hasn't been into Manchester at all today, it has operated LBA - FARO - LBA -PMI - LBA, it was in Manchester yesterday to operate one flight to Munich

[ematom1]

5B-DCO just arrived at Manchester

[MKY661]

5B-DCO just arrived at Manchester

Yes that is correct. G-OZBZ has also been registered today as well.

G-OZBY had a very hard landing at prestwick doing touch and go's so think it will be out of action for a while. currently sat outside the hangar at Man

Well this could mean leasing off other carriers then . Some flights recently have been operated by other carriers at MAN I guess this is the reason why?

I can assure you G-OZBY did not have a very hard landing at Prestwick, otherwise it would still be there.

[StoneyBridge Radar]

Mr @ Spotty M, it must be true; someone on PPRuNe said so !

[Buster the Bear]

I remember seeing a Monarch A300 on MX at RAF Thurleigh (Bedford). Monarch used a hangar there for a good few months. True!

[SCANDIC]

Apparantely the captain couldn't see anything wrong with it at prestwick so flew back to man, not til they got back to man that the engineers found somthing wrong with the front nose wheel.
