It looks very bad for Monarch Aircraft Engineering at the moment.
After the badly handled Flybe split they're losing contracts. Apparently there is an announcement from the big man tomorrow.
I've been told it's very grim in the hangar at BHX.
Good luck to all the engineers, remember there's a shortage at the moment and there are better companies to work for.

Not looking good, company is now up for sale. If they are losing/lost a number contracts, why would anybody buy them?

Boeing and lufthansa interested by all accounts , Ditching flybe was one of their better decisions,
Great facility at BHX someone will snap it up without doubt

Mismanagement by the shareholders who didn’t invest as promised. Hopefully a reputable aviation company will take over and realise the true potential of the business.

Well, they no longer have line mainteance, so just the base facilities at BHX and LTN (and an unfinished composite building up the M1). So, defualting on monies owed to your supply chain may not have been the best move, unless the administrators knew all along that it would "cause" the wind up.

In the current edition of Flight International they report that Quote - MAEL debt was £138m and had a ''cross company guarantee'' inherited from Monarch Airlines. The approved CVA will allow the MRO provider to cut the amount it owes or give it longer to pay. It was approved by 90% of the creditors. The guarantees are with two off shore companies who own 75% of the debt, one of which has bought MAEL for £1.- Unquote.
So, IMHO whoever wants to pick up MAEL will face a tough negotiation and a big bill. Having worked for it's forerunner AEL, I hope someone does.

Have gone into administration as of today, no more base (hangar) maintenance, but the Training Dept and the CAMO are going to continue to trade under administration, while a buyer is found. :{

I understand the hangar at Birmingham was owned by MAEL, as they're looking for a buyer for the training and CAMO side of the business, is the hangar is not included in that sale?

MAEL's assets are to to be auctioned off, where a lot of maintenance history will go under the hammer next week :*

Many excellent aircraft Engineers around the world did their apprenticeships over 50 years at MAEL (& previously ATG).

An extremely sad ending........Some of those Douglas tugs at LTN are seriously old and have been extremely well looked after (I remember them being used on Britannia's!)

Does anyone have any news, or heard rumours, as to who may fill the gap left by Monarch Engineering, taking over their hangar ?

A TUI B738 arrived at Birmingham and went to the hangar so it's still being used by somebody.

Anyone have any update on the hangar at BHX and/or LTN? I know it's still being used for small maintenance tasks but was wondering if anyone knows on who will takeover the hangar. There was a rumour that Virgin Atlantic will take it but I think that's died down now
