Monarch charters out of MAN?
I've noticed recently Monarch has been using a lot of 'different' aircraft on it's scheduled routes. I saw a couple of days ago they were using a Pullmantur 744 on MAN-PMI and again the same aircraft on a similar touristy route. Today I've seen a Thomson 763 under ZB517 flying BCN-MAN and another Monarch MAN departure (can't remember where to) was using a Neos 738. Are these charter aircraft or is Monarch facing some sort of equipment shortage? Seems odd they would use for example a 744 on MAN-PMI.

Trying to respond as best as I can to your comment/question.
Out of Man the A300 (352Y) operate a number of busy shorter routes including BCN, PMI, AGP and FAO. Recently a number of the widebody fleet have been in on maintainance hence the subchartering. It may seam odd us hiring a 747 but when you have to find something that can hold 352Y there arnt as many options as covering for a A321/B757.
On a side note in the summer the A330 also operate some shorter routes including ALC, DLM, PFO, TFS, ACE alongside the longhaul SFB.
