If this is an IAG backed or based take over why use Qatar aircraft to position to UK to repatriate pax from overseas locations?
Why not use Monarchs's existing fleet, if you are buying the shop?
If not why position them to UK if the pax that require repatriating are overseas down line? Or have I missed something?

Regardless what's going on here. My thoughts are with the boys and girls working for ZB. Whatever happens they all have bills and mortgages to pay. This isn't nice for them. Good luck all.

The crews are already in the UK.
If IAG take over the airline then those aircraft won't be needed.

I'm still wishing the very best for Monarch and as ever it's great dedicated staff. However i wish shame on greybull and shame on the board of directors!

...according to the CAA
"If you are abroad, it should make arrangements to bring you home at the end of your trip"
But whats that 5% split over 40 or so destinations and 5 bases? Not enough to fill a 320 - let alone a 330?

Monarch`s existing fleet will not be owned by MON, they will belong to the lessors who almost certainly will be owed payment on them & who could well have different ideas to any prospective MON purchaser.The administrators/receivers would also be in the mix as will the landing airfield for fees,the a/c could be impounded until someone pays up...The fleet will also be on MON`s AOC.
All adds up to not a quick turn from MON in the morning to A.N Other in the afternoon say...Doesn`t work like that....More expedient to charter in.
