Why should this airline be added?
Monarch was an airline that helped kick off the package holiday as we know it today, and was a common sight at many UK airports, as well as numerous destinations ranging from European Sun and Ski destinations, and a selection of destinations in North America and Asia.

Yes yes yes

[ukplanespotter757]

Maybe we should raise a case to Kuba…

You know it’s a good suggestion when it’s

1. Suggested by a mod
2. Both mods are on board with it

Honestly never new monarch flew out of Asia and North America! Reminds me of when Jet2 went to New york!

[ukplanespotter757]

Yeah, they flew to the pretty obvious destination in the states for a holiday airline, but also places like Goa, possibly Phuket as well. I flew on them to Sharm el Sheik on the 757 and A300 (I believe it was G-MONR in its last few weeks of service, not sure which 757 it was, might have been G-MONJ), so it’s an airline I’d like to see in game, especially since they did fly to Innsbruck, and pretty much the entire fleet that a lot of people will recognise is already in game.

I miss monarch… I used to fly on them all the time, when they went bankrupt I was heartbroken. Also md11 operater so Y E S

You might be in luck, does appear that Monarch is to relaunch at some point in the near future. Based at Luton but will also be operating from MAN. They had such a good livery, I hope they keep it.

Edit: There’s a page up about it on Planespotters - https://www.planespotters.net/airline/Monarch-Airlines-2023?refresh=1

Also, potentially could add the MD-11 they operated for a year in 1998. Was leased from World Airways but could be a cool addition.

And I’d love to see the 757-200 in the old colours featured as an event when the airline comes,

Can’t forget the livery that came between this and the final one as well.

[Hirohitoswaifu]

There were 2 variants of it too,

and,

[Hirohitoswaifu]

Yes I’m back here again,

If this airline is ever added, and if in full (pls devs love you), the white tailed 321 and 320 would be most welcome alongside the yellow tails.

[Royston2712]

for a special event livery. how about the “CelebAir” A321 for a very short lived itv reality show!

[Hirohitoswaifu]

Speaking of telly shows,

I’ve never watched it but Ant & Dec is massive in the UK. Could make another special livery.

[Flacko]

Another special livery from Monarch with the music/club brand Hedkandi.

[Jamesonplanes]

Only know them from I’m a Celeb! Don’t really watch much TV like that.

[Hirohitoswaifu]

Another potential special livery,

Cause Monarch, get it?

[Hirohitoswaifu]

Never seen them tbf. I just know everyone back when I was in school used to watch them so some players might like it .
