Nobody knows for sure yet - but if this is what it looks like (again) - are we all working on the assumption currently that this is for Monarch Holidays, and not Monarch airlines themselves? 8-10 A320 hardly seems adequate as rescue flights for the whole group.

Surely the Holiday flights will be on the scheduled fights anyway?

It is not clear if there are any other potential operators on standby around Europe. There were previous mentions of Air Transat in France. 2 in Bordeaux and 1 in Marseille. There are another 2 x Qatar A320 in Stansted that hasn't moved since they arrived but unsure if that's related.

Rescue planes arriving at all is a bad sign, but all the signs were wrong last year.

Here's the bad news, nobody will be providing rescue flights for passengers booked on scheduled flights if the airline goes into administration.

Why do they need so many aircraft. It doesn't add up - if atol is 5% why would they need so many. Its not hugely different to last years is it in terms of capacity yet supposedly atol is 95% less YoY?
