I would be rather surprised if they were doing less flying this year than last with 2 additional aircraft in the fleet for the summer!! What about all the new routes to Italy & Croatia?

I flew into MAN today and there was a Monarch A320 in the new colours at the far end by the freight terminal. Maybe it was that or it might of been G-OZBK as that is in MAN at the moment.

Anyways look forward to seeing it if it wasnt what i think i saw.

The additional a/c are all part of the business plan put into place by MON shareholders/management.Another eight a/c are planned to join the fleet over the next five years.

Also is G-MONR's decals still going to be applied as i have heard it is being disposed of at the end of the summer along with an A320 (G-OZBB or G-MPCD)

Yes, that is the plan at the moment and the a/c you spotted in the new colours when you returned from GIB was G-OOPP.

Saw G-EOMA today with new titles, which by appearances hadn't been washed before they were applied!

On the rear of the fuselage it says "Fly your way every day". This statement is horse!!!!!. Today, the wind has been westerly and no Monarch aircraft have 'flown my way'.
Why do third-rate marketing/branding tossers come up with this nonsense?

BOAC-CUNARD, PAN-AM, EASTERN, TWA. CP AIR. The names said it all.

For your information, all areas where the "decals" were applied were prepared in accordance with the relevant 3M technical data sheets. I know, as I applied them

I'm not sure what Monarchs long term plans are for this aircraft but it would benefit from a fresh coat of paint.

It is not in the new colours because Monarch are only planning on respraying two a/c this winter, this does not include the two new aircraft.

Probably to encourage more people to fly with them. It has the new 'Fly Your Way, Every Day' on them and also some still say 'flymonarch.com' on them, which is not their website anymore.
