Always swings and roundabouts, the pendulum will swing away from inbound exchange rates, and perhaps sooner than some think…
The EI/EG operation at MAN functions as a de-facto BA base. They are part of the “metal-neutral” BA/IAG transatlantic JV and rely heavily on BA Holidays sales, I believe.

The original rumour was mainline BA 777 or even Airbus A32x neos(!) however…

even Gatwick has had to fight to get used A320s let alone neos. No chance they were going to invest in a new fleet for a completely unproven base.

I agree, how come this has turned into another MAN fan debate? Get over it, US is a weak market currently for UK leisure and nothing to do with a new Monarch.
As stated here, looking for Luton base https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...trademark.html subject to that airports 18m pax limit being increased.

Couldn't agree more!

Back on topic, since the new company owns the rights to neither the trading name nor the logo one asks why either are being used on a website?

If correct, who does own it?

To put the record straight. BA Holidays hardly sell the Aer Lingus product from Manchester and the services are not reliant on them.

No-one here cares. Off to the MAN or BA threads with you!

Something I just realised - @letsmonarch Instagram account and website now have a new logo

perhaps they’re still in discussions over use of the logo or something

although I feel I’ve seen that logo before somewhere

Doing away with the yellow and crown? What's the point again of resurrecting this brand to help a holiday company with a completely different name increase market share?

Aside from the yellow wingtip and logo, isn't this livery the very same as Flybe MK2? Look how long that lasted.....

Messing around with colour schemes and fonts is fine if it's just a school project. I'd be far more impressed if they started announcing aircraft deliveries / AOC progress / competant appointments from people who actually knew how to run an airline etc etc

We may soon get our wish if the attention from Loveholidays on their "reveal" post has anything to do with the ownership status

there was a ‘mistake’ paint job on a real Monarch A320 in the wrong shade of purple which looks almost identical to this (minus crown logo).

"A statement from our Board:

It is with immense regret that we announce today that we have been forced to put the brakes on our process to relaunch Monarch. This is not a decision that we have taken lightly, however since taking over the business two weeks ago we have drawn close to exhausted the start-up funding provided to us far more rapidly than anticipated.

We have been seeking alternative routes, such as partial divestment of share capital, and will continue to do so, however at the current stage there is no practical option to move forward in the immediate future.

The Board

Well that didn’t last long! A timely reminder of the intense financial challenges facing new start ups.
