It could be one of several reasons that cause a delay in the industry (sh1t happens):
Crew sickness Crew duty times Tech aircraft - subsequent knock on delay Aliens landed at TFS thus closing the airfield and a delay was then incurred Air traffic constraints meant the mighty A321 had to head south from Tfs and therefore took the long way round What I am getting at is, delays happen, not too often thankfully, but when they happen to a small operator that doesn't just cancel flights to protect the rest of the programme, thus leaving people stranded, it has such a huge knock on effect to the whole operation. In aviation terms 2 days is a long way away and therefore I think 4 weeks is light years away. You will indeed make it to your destination whether it be early, on time or with a slight delay. Have a safe flight and enjoy your trip! |
No idea of the delay,but it was sat on the tarmac at lunch time with a tug attached. (TFS).
My flight last Sunday from Man - Tfs, with Monarch took 3:20, thanks to a very strong tailwind. Made up for some of the delays I have had with them this year. |
The BHX hangar has been announced, work starts in the New Year.

Dannyboy39 re new BHX hangar;
Monarch say 3rd party work is to be increased from 18% in 2010 and 27% in 2012 to 40% within 3 years. Add to this its going to be the UKs first dedicated and only Boeing approved 787 maintenance base it could make money :) News Details |
Great News for Monarch and Birmingham.
One thing I have always wondered, Why is the hangar at Manchester still in the 1990's colour scheme? |
My guess would be because the cost to update it would be neither insignificant nor value for money.
|
Quite, who apart from the odd obsessed crank gives a toss what colour scheme the hangar is painted in, and would 99.99 percent even know it was not the latest incarnation?
|
Cost a few bob to paint it so paint when needed
|
Monarch are to resume MAN-LEI from 2 May 2013. Will still remain seasonal.
|
Has anyone got any pictures of MONR at tupelo.
|
All these a321's that monarch are getting could one of the 321's be one of the ex first choice even though they have different engines.
|
SCANDIC
The answer is No. :ok:

odd obsessed crank who just likes being hateful....
Quite, who apart from the odd obsessed crank gives a toss what colour scheme the hangar is painted in, and would 99.99 percent even know it was not the latest incarnation? I care. Many other people here in this thread care because this is the thread for people who care about things like this. What part of all of this are you so incredibly stupid that you cannot understand. Get back under your rock you ignorant troll! You've been banned often enough for your hateful spite. I would ask any mod reading to consider a ban as this individual has previous and just comes in here to insult. I don't appreciate being called a crank, there's just no excuse. |
New ski flights
Anyone know how the new ski flights are doing? Thinking of using Friedrichshafen, but looks like some of the flights in January have been axed already?

MON financial update
Monarch making 'good progress' on road to profitability
Nov 29, 2012 08:00AM GMT Monarch Group today announced that “good progress” is being made towards a turnaround plan to deliver profits at all trading divisions for the year to October 2013. The Cosmos Holidays and Monarch Airlines parent reported a rise in group turnover from £757.8 million to £827.7 million in the year to October. Group-wide cost savings came in as planned at £31.6 million. The group plans to seek proposals for re-equipping the Monarch Airlines’ fleet and is seeking a total of 45 aircraft for delivery up to 2021. Several older aircraft in the existing fleet are now being retired from service as the carrier seeks to become cost competitive against budget airlines. No figure on overall losses was given but the group claimed “strong profitable growth” in tour operations sales and yields, driven by successful winter and summer package holiday programmes, particularly to Goa, Greece and Florida, for which sales significantly outperformed the market. The group claimed “significant advances” being made in the group’s e-commerce capabilities including mobile, with 20 million unique visitors to its online platforms, up 21% on the previous year. Monarch Airlines’ carryings rose from 6.3 million to 6.4 million passengers. Within this there was a 15.7% increase in scheduled passengers from 4.6 million to 5.3 million. This followed expansion to six airports, with the addition of East Midlands and Leeds/Bradford planned for 2013 and growth in the scheduled network to 88 routes, including successful absorption of routes formerly operated by Bmibaby. Further profitable growth was reported in Monarch Aircraft Engineering turnover, with third-party customer revenues increasing to 29% of the total from 19% two years ago. Executive chairman, Iain Rawlinson, said: “All the Group’s main divisions have performed well in 2012 in what have been challenging market conditions. “The airline has achieved good yield growth in line with expectations and moved quickly to develop and strengthen its market position following the closure of Bmibaby. “The tour operations and engineering divisions maintained their profitable performance of recent years and now have laid good foundations for growth. “The group’s overall results reflect strong discipline on cost control and delivery of an effective e-commerce strategy. This represents sound progress in the first year of our two-year turnaround plan.” He added: “Although the macro-economic environment remains uncertain, we are well positioned to continue this performance and have made a good start to the new year with satisfactory levels of advance bookings across our consumer brands and within the engineering activity. “Brand recognition of Monarch and Cosmos is increasing at an encouraging rate, supported by improved use of technology, and consumer offerings differentiated by service levels and choice. ”In what are generally tough trading conditions, Monarch Airlines is well advanced with its modernisation and cost reduction programmes when other larger operators continue to face important restructuring challenges, and it provides clear and real choice to consumers who value customer service at a competitive price. “Meanwhile, the group’s your operations division has potential for good growth as it makes new investments in its new selling platform and in increasing awareness of the Cosmos brand, and Monarch Aircraft Engineering has already announced its plans for expansion with a further engineering facility at Birmingham airport.” Monarch making 'good progress' on road to profitability - www.travelweekly.co.uk |
