Strange how Monarch has chosen three costal UK airports where the catchment area is reduced by 50% due to the sea.


In ten years time when the Spaniards etc will be visiting Britain as a result of global warming, you won't think it strange why these airports were chosen!!

plse explain this 50% capacity reduction thing?

Dada l guess it is 50% all round, as AGP is also on the coast.
So his post should have been quoting a 25% reduction, unless he thought about AGP, but l think it is nit picking anyway.

Of course the Spanish ( and the Frogs) are well used to visiting us down here in Cornwall during the Winter...... nicking our bl**dy fish mostly!

I remember back in the sixties seeing Aviaco and Spantax regularly in Newquay so it has been done before, but more power to the Monarch elbow for doing it again!

Strangely enough AVIACO used to do charters from Aberdeen to Malaga back in the early eighties for defunct tour operator Volta Dixon

and believe it or not, aviaco dc9-s used to operate charters to blackpool in the late 70's but cant remember where to?

monarch a330
 

hi everbody,

i was talking to somebody who just got back from cuba, and she went on a monarch A330. She told me she had no personal television on the back of the seat, they just had the roof ones. she couldnt believe it being it was a a330. Why doesn't monarch have them and the likes of mytravel, thomas cook do.

is it cost cutting.

Maybe they wernt available when that airframe was built - just guessing

im pretty sure the Monach A330's only have seat back TV's in the premium cabin, and that the screens in standard are mounted on the cealing. I think this is the case on the Boeing 767 and A300's that are used for longhaul, with hand held tv's being handed out in premium on these aircraft.

Just curious why are most of the rest of Monarch's fleet painted in the new livery yet the A330 remains in the old? Have they just not got round to it yet or do they intend on getting rid of them?
Cheers RT

Were due for a repaint this November, have not checked of late to see if it is still going to happen this November.

Monarch Scheduled is Going Strong
 

Pretty good going I would say:D

"BA woes see Monarch Scheduled’s August traffic increase by almost 50%

While BA dealt with the fallout from its catering debacle and passengers deserted the flag carrier in their droves, low cost airline Monarch Scheduled continued to grow rapidly and is delighted to announce a 49% increase in passenger traffic for August 2005, compared with the same period last year.

For the first time ever, Monarch Scheduled broke its own record and carried in excess of 300,000 passengers in just one month, almost 100,000 more than the same month last year. The airline flew 303,547 passengers* in August, compared with 203,745 in August 2004. The load factor was 87%.

Taking over the helm from BA, who have been busy recently dropping routes from both Birmingham and Manchester, Monarch Scheduled is now the largest international carrier from Manchester and broke another of its own records in August, by carrying more than 30,000 passengers on a single route (Manchester-Malaga) – the first time the airline has achieved this figure."

Let's see what the winter is going to bring, but things are definitely looking rosey at the moment at MON.

Cheerio
:cool:
