:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Monarch’s 757-200s were operated on European operations to both Mediterranean destinations and within Europe itself, regularly appearing at INN like Thomson, Thomas Cook, First Choice, MyTravel and Jet2 all used to do. The A300s were also used near exclusively in this livery on European routes, mainly high-density to the Mediterranean (Though they were used on routes to Goa/Phuket from Manchester/Gatwick via Bahrain and previously in the 1990s they did fly to the USA, Caribbean and Asia (Using stopovers) but were replaced with the A330s in the late 1990s on this job).

Jet2 have been given a rather strange pass in regards to 757 operations and are the only airline I believe in-game that can have their 757-200s do regional operations on shorter routes. Monarch should have that same pass for their 757-200s and potentially also including their A300s, as both are limited in-range and thus can only be got at MCT and IAD.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
Whatever was done for the Jet2 757-200s can be ported across to Monarch’s 757s and A300s.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
Realism and more usability of the aircraft types

MONK at INN,

757 with a few others at INN

6 pages of photographic proof :laughing:

A300 pictures, majority at European destinations like PMI and Corfu, would make it ideal for BRI.

Example at BRI of Jet2 752’s at MAN being available but not Monarch’s.

I think this has been mentioned elsewhere as well, but it wouldn’t just be Monarch this applies to. Keeping it somewhat on topic with european carriers though, you’ve also got TUI 767s that were almost exclusively short haul (at least since the 787s took over TUIs long haul) and Condor 757-300s, all of which would be useful at BRI especially with its D stands.

I did it as a bug report back in November. Took ages to find this post regarding BA and Condor and ofc if we get Thomson/TCX 752’s in the future, it would also apply to them.
