The Monarch 757's are coming up to 25 years old, any idea when they will be retired and with what ? I guess Monarch must have the highest timed and cycled aircraft in their fleet !

All we know is that the people at the top are looking at replacement options. The company has looked at both the 787 and the A350 but taking into account that the A350 is no longer who knows what the company is thinking. I dare say we will be told in due time but we will probably find out from the aircraft cleaners within the next couple of weeks. I beleive the interim aircraft will either be the A330 or more 767's

I would be guessing Monarch may look at more A321's or more modern 757s.
However i can see the 757s having about another 2 years, more modern ones G-MONJ/K possibily 5 or 6 as these are 5 years newer than the rest.

Monarch still as I percieve it get good serviceability out of these old aeroplanes (757s). Good to see NB in service- saw her delivered at LTN in 1983 when my then wife was pregnant with my daughter. She's just graduated!!!
