Fly star now Monarch???...Please explain

Flystar was astraeus callsign and they did a lot of MOD flights but now they are no longer around Monarch have the contract

Anyone know the destination for the a300's when their retired and the 75's.:sad:

It says to be 'disposed' so i assume they are getting scrapped. Hopefully they will do something more useful with them though :)

I hope both lots of aircraft go to fed ex or turkey.

The breakers yard hopefully

I think their to good to be scrapped just yet.

I think so too. Monarch are the last european operator of the A300 and the longest operator of the 757 so hopefully they will be put into use or into storage where they can still be seen. The Viewing Park at Manchester would be good but I think the chances of that are very slim.

The Airbuses are going to be sold for parting out.
Yes Monarch are the last pax operator of the A300 in Europe, but DHL are building up a fair size cargo operation using the A300-600.

2 of the A300's are going to be parted out :sad:. One in 2012 (MONR) & one in 2013 (MONS). An A320 (MPCD) will also be parted out in 2012 :sad:.

Thank god for that is all i can say:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

How about a couple more 330,s

Can't find any flying for the two in the fleet - let alone getting any more.

I have also heard that fleet plan renewals are due to be announced as well.

I I had an idea what Monarch were getting i would say more A320's & A321's.

Oh yeah maybach, so all those MOD flights their doing to the middle east must be a mirage then .

Heard the MOD are about to sign up for more work for them this summer .

Indeed - and it operated as a W pattern that was the reverse of this. I.e. MAN-GIB-LTN-GIB-MAN on Fridays.

predictable reply james

MoD is a short term strategy based on winning flights at the lowest bid.

The MoD are shortly going to fundamentally change the way they do business and this work will dry up overnight. If you think its great to pick up MoD business in the Summer, then fine, just tell us what the plan is for S13 and try selling that to the shareholders.

Grab what you can is great for now, but doesnt solve the fundamentals.

But it does help the cash flow this year which going to be tough

I thought Monarch was a privately owned airline, no trades shares?

If the deal this year for the MOD flights is anything like the deal the cypriots were on its pretty lucrative

to quote you, on the Livery thread
