The yellow tail and banner titles look smart.
But the extra Spotty M on the fuselage looks so wrong, particularly when viewed from the starboard side.
There is already a Spotty M on the tail fin, so why spoil the design with yet another only a few metres away.

Update

The first A330 to appear in the new colours, should now be in service, with yet another change.
The Monarch board, have at last, two years to late, realised you don't need to have co.uk down the side of the aircraft.
Modern web browsers have for years been able to search for companies on the web with out adding co.uk or com to the name.
So more money will now be waisted removing the co.uk from all the aircraft.

G-EOMA

It looks to me as if the decals are that purple hue in which the unfortunate 'BK was first painted. Oh dear, here we go again! Are Air Livery a quoted company so I can buy shares in them?

This is getting beyond silly.

I think its just the light. Last Time G-OZBK had the whole of the purple the pinky colour, not just the decals.

Wonder what change is next? They going to paint some aircrafts tails blue with a yellow Monarch crown? Lets just hope they leave it alone now

MON must have money to burn judging by the amount they must have wasted on repaints over the last couple of years

Monarch have not wasted money on any repaint, other than the initial repaint when they were not happy with the colour.
All repaints are the planned 5 or 6 year repaints, or when the paint gets in a poor state, i.e. rivet rash.
The only aircraft repainted are aircraft with the yellow tails.

It would be nice for Monarch to paint one in a retro scheme

I'm also liking the new winglet design on the A330 too.

Both, they have been proven popular in the US as a way of generating column inches and brand awareness but that's way too complicated for your tiny little mind. It's all about hating spotters for you, we're all sorry your mum ran off with one but get over it sweety it was ages ago.

Cannot see in these cash strapped times airlines wasting thousands by retro painting aircraft, The public care about price and getting their on time, paint schemes no matter how interesting for us matter not a jot to them

Bottom line is 99.9 percent of the public have zero interest in aviation and see flying as about as much fun or as interesting as catching the 77 bus
