I was being facetious!

In a similar vein, is one of the responsible people Jason Unsworth?

Seriously, neither of the directors appear to have been involved at director level previously.

I am of the impression that it is an opportunist who has registered the name for future use rather than a serious airline?

LetsMonarch being a rip off of Flybe’s LetsFlybe and makes even less sense that the Flybe one.

Keep an eye on A320 LY-SPC msn 00415. (Believed to be at Kemble, but confirmation would be appreciated). MAY! confirm or deny the above.

Who owns the rights to the Monarch Logo?

Meant to draw attention to that in my post.

The brands of bankrupt companies are usually best left to rest in piece. Former employees of said companies often have difficulty accepting this due to their emotional involvement and personal (possibly rose tinted) memories of the good old days.
Why should Monarch's brand be revived when so many other revivals have flopped ?

Could not agree more. I had the pleasure of being involved with Monarch back in the ‘good old days’. They were good, but to my mind, they and Dan Air always lagged behind Britannia Airways.

It is now a completely new aviation environment in which many well established airlines are struggling and having to find new ways to adapt. Anyone thinking that they can enter the aviation industry by starting up a new airline, or basing a new venture on a fondly forgotten predecessor is living in cloud cuckoo land.

Oh and with reference to my previous post. I’ve just been advised that the proposed UK reg for LY-SPC is G-CRII which is a reference to our new King (Monarch, new King – is it just me?).

Could Monarch Airlines be about to re-appear? (ukaviation.news)

As of this time, you’ll not be seeing this listed on my website, until proved wrong.

Registered office appears to be a Regus office in Capability Green at Luton Airport with the new "Chairman of the Board" appointed only yesterday! Bizarre

I am told LY-SPC was seized for unpaid fees and is indeed at Kemble

Unfortunately, most of these people trying to resurrect these famous old names just want to recreate the old airline and therefore recreate the exact same reasons they failed in the first place.

Not a great start !!

LY-SPC has been at Kemble for 3.5 years and is 30 years old.

Absolutely no chance that bird will be back in the air.

Should this ‘new’ Monarch go ahead, it’ll be interesting to see what they pick for the fleet. Have read they are targeting the “higher end of UK all inclusive travel” with a USP of “sustainable tourism”. Ain’t no way they’re doing that in 30 year old 320s!!!

cavokblues 20th Aug 2023 05:44

If they want the higher end of tourism why do they want the Monarch brand to achieve that?

Monarch had a rich heritage and was taken to the cleaners by capitalists but with the upmost respect it's not a name or brand that was ever synonymous with 'higher end travel.'

Shurely “rest in pieces”?

They’re going to be backed by an investor in Luxembourg, apparently.
