Chidken Sangwich...No..I say again this all revolves around the private equity company.. they normally know they hold all the cards having acquired for nominal sums failing or failed companies & holding all the cards are very used to getting all their own way when push comes to shove...Unfortunately for them the Airline Industry is heavily regulated by THE CAA & cannot be bluffed..I read the circumstances surrounding the last affair as THE CAA putting all their tanks or (full house to continue the analogy) on the private equity`s lawn partly perhaps out of exasperation too & guess what? private equity blinked & stumped up & met their obligations at the v last minute.
So no the CAA did not ruin the reputation of the airline,the owners did & indeed have to comply with the same rules every other pax airline in the UK does..
When they paid up so the need to fly many many dozen repatriation flights was avoided so is that not a type of saving anyway.

None of the flights you were on, nor any of the other long haul routes you mentioned were sold by Monarch though, they were all tour operator flights where the tour operator held the risk. So whether it was full or not is irrelevant to Monarch. That market doesn’t exist any more.

CGE29 I fear is correct from the rumour mill.

EZY crew due to operate BHX-FNC tomorrow (15:20), unsure whether this is due to anything MON related.

Agreed. The only criticism I'd consider levelling at them is being too soft. However I expect that, reputationally, they have to give them some slack.

Norwegian long haul has been a huge drain on the health of the wider group, it’s not a panacea.

Oh dear :-(

Edit: Which continue button? I got all the way to the payment screen?

That's likely to be as a result of merchant provider action, and they can shut the show down even if nobody else does :-(

It also suggests there is no intention (or ability) to keep the airline separately from the holiday business.

Continue button working fine for me right through to payment...

Continue button is working for me

Me too: got all the way to the payment screen.

03:35 BST the last IBZ should depart to LGW thus all either at home or on route.

My mistake...
 

Yes - my mistake or a browser problem - wouldn't let me do it all. But it does now, hence I've deleted the post.

My mistake. Sorry.

From Twitter

First of eight Qatar Airways jets has pushed back from gate at Doha, will be on way shortly to position & then fly as #Monarch rescue flight

I don't find AM a credible source, but he might be right on that one.

I hate to think this, and hope it is not the case.
But if it was a case MON would not fly tomorrow would the inbound aircraft tonight not all start being remote parked?

I pray Monarch Airlines gets through this latest and, hopefully last, period of uncertainty. As a long-time passholder at Leeds Bradford Airport I consider it a great privilege to have hosted Monarch as a based airline for a few years now. There is much history and goodwill connected with the Monarch Airlines brand. Please don't go !

Me neither, very amateur and only posts from second hand sources. However on this one, unfortunately i believe he's correct. I also feel with this the case a decision has already been made...

Can anyone find the flight mentioned? Would it be QTR3457?

Pretty much exactly as i said on here a year ago, wish all those excellent MON staff the very best of luck for the next few hours, and the future.

Another classic British brand on the chopping board for the second year in a row. Unfortunately i can’t see a solution this time.

Clue will be if inbound aircraft arriving shortly park at gates or remote parking. QR aircraft (A320’s) will also be en-route soon.

A7 - LAB On route...
