Only if they win their case.

The fleet was supposed to go down to 34 not 32.

2 new A321's on the way

Debt free in 3 years?

With Monarch stating that they would be debt free in 3 years, do you think todays supreme court decision to block the appeals by Jet2 and Thomson will open the floodgates for claims against ZB


they must have numerous claims against them from the last 6 years that would now be due payments

Also looks like Monarch Airlines have finalised its deal with Boeing to order 30x new 737 Max jets worth an estimated $3.2 billion with deliveries commencing from 2 quarter 2018..

Absolutely gutted to see 2 x A330 leaving the fleet

[SCANDIC]

Hate it when airlines get rid of decent aircraft.

[EK77WNCL]

Aww no they could even just sell seats on the LGW-BHX positioning flights

[MKY661]

Aww no they could even just sell seats on the LGW-BHX positioning flights

I would have bought a seat as well

[SCANDIC]

It's such a shame there are no extra flights being run after all those years of being in the fleet, boo hoo monarch.

An iconic aircraft in the Monarch story, the 757 is the plane that really brought Monarch properly into the modern era, replacing the old & gas guzzling 720's. She has served the airline proudly for 30 years + I remember countless times watching her arrive and depart from my local airport, Luton. It's sad to see her finally leave the fleet

[CabinCrewe]

Weren't the 720's long gone by the time the 757s were in regular service?

[TSR2]

The 720's were retired in 1981 and the first 757 entered service in 1983.

[dc9-32]

any idea where the Airbus withdrawals are going after they leave Monarch ?

[wallp]

I stand corrected. I thought the 720's were around until just before the 757's first arrived. It was a long time ago.

[SCANDIC]

What is the next move for the 3 75's has anyone got any ideas.

[jamesp]

2 xa330s are off to jet2. Jet 2 also getting 2 x 320s, if they work well for jet2, they will be getting an all new a320 fleet and coming away from the boeing family.

Jamesp

Would you care to elaborate on your theory? Or is that simply wishfull thinking?

[Ian Brooks]

chuzwuza you beat me to that i think a lot of wishful thinking there.
No way would Jet2 go for 3 A330 in a year as the 1st is coming from
Air Asia on 6 month lease and they have no need in winter

[Sean Dillon]

You spotters are worse than cabin crew on Airport Standby for utter nonsense!

The above from Jamesp is utter rubbish, just like SCANDIC and his Monarch 757 theory's to Jet2!

[jamesp]

wait and see !!!!
when they arrive I will remind you where you heard it first.
