Did anyone see the landing? Did it overrun or just skid off?

Not quite sure from the photos, am I correct in thinking this is at the departure end of 33?
Usually landing aircraft (of this size) have turned off at bravo

There are any number of reasons why this has happened from human error to mechanical failure of sort. It is 3-6 months too soon for anyone to speculate why.
Why are you thanking Monarch in a sarcastic manner? An aircraft operating for them has encountered an incident, cause unknown, no-one hurt, 2 hour suspension to operations, things now back to normal with some delays as a result - how is that the fault of Monarch??
One pax is quoted on the BBC as stating "it's the oldest aircraft I have ever flown on" - as if aircraft age/state/condition is the cause - what has that got to do with an incident the cause of which is unknown. The flight had taken place and landed - age of the aircraft is irrelevant.

There's been an extensive discussion on the Airlines Airports and Routes forum about Monarch's arrangements for covering the summer timetable with Aurela and Air Explore,
Regardless of the specifics of this event it hasn't been a PR success for Monarch given the Tenerife ( I think) situation made the national news as well.

What on earth is Monarch doing subbing out to a LITHUANIAN company?
If I'd (been desperate enough to have) bought a ticket on Monarch I'd be mighty displeased to see I had to ride in that!
What is the world coming to?
