Monarch 4
They came into the UK using the BA “speedbird’ callsign apparently. Perhaps using the BA wetlease agreement/set-up from the recent CC strikes to speed up the process of arranging repatriations.

In theory only the package holiday passengers with ATOL protection would be entitled to be flown home, so they may not need an A321 if they decide to leave the flight only pax behind. That's going to become a very volatile situation at the airport if that's what's about to happen.
I would think we should be hearing something from the CAA within the next 2 hours before those aircraft land in Ibiza and the pax there are told what's happening.

Apparently a supposed IBZ pax has said on twitter they've been told there will be an annoucement at 3:30.
That could be 3:30 Spanish time if they are out in IBZ, which is about when the first Qatar A320 will land in IBZ as it's about 45 minutes out now, and obviously pax will then be getting an explanation as to what's about to happen.

Rumour on the Twitterings is saying that Faro has had the following flights updated:
MON052/053+580/581 now cancelled. AWC052/053 replaces the 1st as TSC580/581 replaces the second (it seems)Titan and Air Transat.

I would totally endorse the comments Count of Monte Bisto makes regarding the standard of Monarch's Pilots, might I also include, all of the company Flight Crews, front & back & other staff in all departments. I can certainly vouch for this, myself having been subjected to Monarch's training, for over twenty five wonderful years.
If unfortunately this is the end of the road for Monarch & sadly this does appear to be the case, if I was looking to hire high quality aircrew & other staff, I know just the people who I would make a bee line for!

Well it depends what they're about to tell the IBZ pax as the first aircraft will be on the ground in 20 minutes and no doubt they'll be getting told what's happened then,followed by them hitting twitter with the news no doubt. Can't see the CAA making the IBZ pax wait for another hour for an explanation, but obviously the official word from Monarch is likely to be once all aircraft are back at base.
