:
:
Dear Enthusiasts,
Many of you are already booked on Monarch Airlines final Airbus A300-605R commercial flight, operating from London’s Gatwick Airport to Birmingham Airport on Sunday 13th April 2014. Monarch are the last remaining operator of the type amongst European airlines, and will be retiring our final aircraft from service immediately following its arrival at Birmingham.
Demand for seats on this service has been very high, and now only a limited number of seats remain bookable via the Monarch Airlines call centre. If you are interested in attending and have not yet booked your seat, I would strongly advise that you do so soon. For those of you that have booked your place on the flight, but have not booked a specific seat as yet, this is also possible via the Monarch Airlines call centre. Window seats are now sold out, but there are a handful of “next to window” seats available.
I have attached a copy of the original press release as a reminder for those of you requiring the details of the flight.
Contact information for the Monarch Airlines call centre can be found below;
If calling from the UK: 08719 40 50 40

If you have any questions regarding the booking process, please respond via this e-mail address: [email protected]
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on board.
Kind Regards
Toby

New aircraft order
As the Cseries faces an uncertain future with further delays to it's planned entry into service; what of the monarch 60 aircraft order ?
Maybe they have already decided to go with airbus ? In the last airbus press release was an undisclosed customer for 60 aircraft ......
7 A319 ....13 A320 ...7 A321 and. 8 A319 Neo 12 A320 Neo 13 A321 Neo
Probably nothing to do with monarch but then this is the rumour network !!!

Surprised to not see this on here yet..
Norwegian B787 EI-LNB arrived at BHX last night for attention with Monarch Engineering. currently parked on the remotes and should go in the hangar tomorrow to join a TOM767 and Jet 2 757.
MON A300 G-MAJS is due in later today for MAEL as well..The facility is so busy it needs another bay being built already

Last two A300's in formation...
Monarch's last two Airbus A300's are presently (4pm Sat 25 Jan 2014) almost flying in formation....
Both south west of Paris
G-OJMR is at 32,000' coming back from Grenoble. (ZB6487)
Just behind it is...
G-MAJS at 30,000' coming back from Lyon. (ZB6073)
Probably MAJS's last revenue service.

Hi Nigel
I think Monarch is picking up a lot of extra work as we have a Icelandair
B757 which went tech yesterday in and TCX have aircraft all over the place as well, but then we are into the main maintenance period so perhaps it is a good time to be a UK engineer in aerospace

Hi Ian,
Yes possibly a lull in winter flts causing this influx.
It does help us having a large facility where we can get 4 767/A300s or 2 787/77W in at the same time.
I assume MAEL try and spread equal amounts between its 3 facilities ?
The mind boggles though, as we only up to half the workforce in place at present including crews from MAN/LTN helping out.
What are we going to achieve when its up to full strength on all models !

In relation to the earlier post regarding the final service of A-300 registered G-MAJS last Saturday, what happens to the flying programme that this aircraft has recently been undertaking (I am guessing that it has kept reasonably busy on the Ski IT flights at weekends ?) does it just revert to a smaller aircraft for the remainder of the season ?

The post was incorrect, in that its last flight was a LGW-GVA-LGW on Sunday morning.
In the short term, my guess would be narrow body aircraft would cover the routes, doubling up on each flight.
The long term until the season ends would be the A330, one A330 is currently on a maintenance check.

The new seats: they are very cleverly designed...British designed, British made and offer genuine extra legroom. Off course everything has got pros and cons but the complaint about lack of legroom has been addressed.
They were extensively tested against other made and came out best.
B757...As said in early pages they are leaving in November at the end of the summer season.
