Monarch 4
The businesses I have been involved with have reviewed risk on a regular basis so we know what could be a threat to the business, how we are going to mitigate that risk and how we are going to react. If it all comes as a surprise then you are not doing your job. The external circumstances are the same for everybody, I don't see any other airline CEO wondering around with his head in his hands going woe is me, where has my business gone?
And that is exactly what is happening, the problem is most of Monarchs passengers are not covered by it, so the government is picking up the tab to bring those passengers home.
I'd better dust off the Trident ops manuals from the Court line rescues in 1974 .
Almeria and Malaga are in the logbook .
Good luck and condolences to all Monarch Boys 'n Girls .

Some insight into the timing of the plans for rescue flights can be found here and the links therein

This was pretty much in the bag on or around 25 Sept.

Just to clarify the question of why Monarch themselves aren’t performing the rescue flights. In law, once a company is declared insolvent and ceases trading as they did at 4am they are no longer permitted to engage in any trade whatsoever. Undertaking a revenue flight, or receiving a fee from the CAA to operate rescue flights would be against the rules. Besides that, who’s going to fuel and handle a Monarch aircraft at the moment?

There was a series on TV a few years ago called REPO about how companies retrieve aircraft on behalf of the lessors, I'm sure your find it interesting and you can probably find it on YouTube.

It's as simple as that.

The CAA Twitter piece is extremely bad form and I can entirely sympathise with all of the Monarch guys for being very upset by it. Whoever is responsible ought to be summoned for the proverbial tea with no biscuits for that one.

Well if that isn't in exceptionally poor taste on behalf of the CAA..
Spotted one of our rescue flights? Let us know by tweeting us a picture.

Wonder if greybul will sever the final ties and sell the engineering side which is a going concern , profitable and trading as normal.
Be nice if someone with long term interest could replace the likes of greybul

Just looking on Flight Radar 24. Seems 2 Monarch aircraft are airborne out of Gatwick heading West/ Northwest bound. One nearing Shannon in Ireland. Any ideas what they are heading there for? Storage?
