Monarch Airlines

[remember arthur mann]

Last time on Monarch.....

tightest pitch on an aircraft !

 

[Sir peace frog]

they will prob eventually collapse, i may be wrong as i'm not that fully clued up,,but in all seriousness who would go online at this moment and give them £500 for a product you going to receive in 6 months' chinese investors or not',the damage has been created with the public announcement that ATOL have placed them on borrowed time,,if i worked for them i'd certainly be on the lookout for alternative employment

The good thing about working at the airport if one company folds the flights have to go somewhere creating new jobs as we say at the airport same shit different uniform

Stopped using Monarch @ 8 years ago as everytime we flew with them summat went missing out of our luggage.
Hopefully better times ahead for them though.

A bit harsh blaming the airline for something that is out of their control.

Happened 5 times in a row, both leaving the country and returning. Never had the problem with anybody else before or since. Just one of those things, it was very annoying at the times, but I've slept since then.
Like I said before, hopefully they survive as it's never good when somebody goes under.
Cheers

Read this fleet list and in the remark column it shows who owns each plane, it tells you all you need to know. I don't know what their cashflow is like but without any assets to bargain with they are in deep do do if this so called investment does not arrive.

No-one who has booked or plans on booking is in danger of course because ATOL would compensate and get people home. This is almost what happened last week when several 747's and others were chartered because the CAA thought they were going down.

It is the families of the people who work for these companies who I feel for because it really isn't their fault, they have already taken a big paycut and wage freeze which I find astonishing in this day and age. Fingers crossed they survive.

Quick check on Thomson 787s shows first 3 are all leased.
Aircraft leased from a company called BBAM who list airlines as clients such as BA, KLM, Lufthansa, Thomas Cook, TUI, etc.
Got bored after that.

Flew back from Egypt with them 10 years ago and the pitch was shocking. I'm not the slimmest but I'm not Billy Bunter either and the table was pressing into my stomach.

Possibly the worst flight I've ever experienced, from arriving at Luxor airport to waiting for our luggage at Manchester.

Leasing a newly manufactured aircraft is commonplace in aviation to lower the costs of new aircraft. Selling and then leasing back is different, it is something you do when you need cash.

But how can that be Monarch? Its the Ground handling service providers at the airport that have hands on your luggage not the airline
