If you google Northern Lights flights the first site on the list should answer your question.

According to the seating plan on the Monarch website, ZB684 on 17 Nov is currently being operated by an A321.

Limit of Validity
 

The Limit of Validity for the pax A300-600R is 89000 Flight Hours or 51000 Flight Cycles.
This is the figure the aircraft is allowed to fly up till, the you then have to contact Airbus for a fly on.
As you can see below, the flight cycles were not an issue with G-MONR.

G-MONR Current figures are 73307 Flight Hours & 24605 Flight Cycles.

G-MPCD Current figures are 67991 Flight Hours & 25378 Flight Cycles.

@ Tubby L ..Thank You--i have now found it!

MONR the poor old bird. Its got on jethros OZBY where is this aircraft being acquired from.

NR was abused by the CAA when the type was put on the UK register.

So from what I can gather MON will be operating the following fleet for Summer 2013:

A300 x3
A320 x10
A321 x18
A330 x2
B757 x3

Would anyone happen to know what the A/C base allocation is expected to be? Anything like this?

BHX - 4x A320 4x A321
EMA - 2x A320
LBA - 2x A320
LGW - 2x A300 6x A321 1x A330 2x B757
LTN - 2x A320 2x A321
MAN - 1x A300 6x A321 1x A330 1x B757

BHX Summer 2013
 

TCX69

BHX require 9 aircraft for the number flights on sale. The cancellation of Milan has released four slots, which don't appear to filled as yet.

Not much reaction to the BHX hangar saga, was there any comeback to the press release by the architects which was removed first thing last Monday morning?

Have anymore A321's been fitted with extra tanks for the SSH runs, there was an earlier post stating two more were in line for them.

I have heard (On this forum) that EMA is 2x A321 this summer. Im not sure who is losing the A300 though although whoever loses it will need another aircraft.

Two more have yes, ZBG and ZBR.

Why do ZB and TOM base such few aircraft at LTN? Only 7 between them in the summer.

Is it because of the shear numbers at LGW or the immense competition from FR and EZY? Lack of parking space at LTN?

TCX69, there will be 12 A320 as the fleet total should be 38 in summer 2013.
1 a/c should be spare.

When do you think that MONR will leave for the states. Lovely aircraft.

NR is scheduled to fly BRU-LTN on sunday (11-NOV-12) and monday it will fly from LTN to PSM.

CD is scheduled to fly BRU-LTN on sunday also and then on monday does LTN-KEF-PSM.

From Thomson. Information on the aircraft on order has also been revealed:

OZBZ (A321) Due Late March 2013
ZBAA (A320) Due Late March 2013
ZBAB (A320) Due Late April 2013
ZBAD (A321) Due Early May 2013
ZBAE (A321) Due Late May 2013

They are also supposed to get two more A321 although no information on ths yet.

You beat me to it! :ok:

I wonder why no G-ZBAC? According to G-INFO it hasn't been in use since 1989. Can UK registrations not be reused?

So only 9 A320's for next summer but 21 A321's! Good to see MON getting more aircraft.

On a separate note, G-OZBF was ferried LGW-EMA on 09Nov for repaint into the new livery :D

Yes more Information on that on the Livery Thread. There are a few more:

ZB @ BHX
 

Any new destinations in the pipeline for summer 2013 from BHX? I assume that LIS and PRG last remaining un served WW destinations from BHX would have been announced by now if they were going to be operated next year?

ZB & TOM based at Luton
 

The question was asked a few posts ago why both airlines have relatively few aircraft based at Luton.

Parking would certainly be one of a number of issues should either airline wish to increase numbers now although it wasn't that long ago that Monarch only based three airframes at Luton during the summer.

The lack of IT operations out of Luton (and Stansted for that matter) goes back a number of years when all of the major tour operators took a decision to concentrate their London operations out of Gatwick. Comensurate reductions then took place to the Luton operation so that in the main, only the really popular destinations are served now.

Luton had the benefit for an additional period of all IT flights to Cyprus as thy were not allowed by the Cypriot Government to operate out of Gatwick (and I think Stansted) but this restriction ceased in the run up to Cyprus joining the EU.

There is some gaps in the BHX programme, from what I can work out...

ZB @ BHX
 

Great info TCX69, much appreciated. So by your reckoning there are seven gaps through the week, that could be two new destinations at a push. We will see. It is certainly an impressive schedule. Just a question - CFU and CHQ are both charter ops AFAIK they are not listed as schedules?
