The History of the A300 at Monarch

The A300 aircraft type has been in service with the airline since 1990, and has carried more than 20 million holiday makers while in Monarch colours. The final A300 airframe in the fleet, G-OJMR, will be retiring on Sunday, 13th April 2014, having served the airline for 23 years after being delivered new 1991. In a fitting end to this aircraft’s service, the final flight will be piloted by the Chief Pilot of Monarch Airlines, Martin Pound. Martin has served Monarch for over 36 years and in 1991, was the pilot charged with flying the first A300 into service.

Monarch’s A300s are the final passenger-carrying examples in service with a European airline, and with its impending retirement from service, the passenger variant of Airbus’ first entry in to the commercial airliner market, will become a very rare sight in European skies. To celebrate the life of this workhorse of the airline industry, Monarch will be giving enthusiasts one last chance to book on the aircraft by opening up the last commercial flight from London’s Gatwick Airport to Birmingham.

FAQs

Is it possible to arrange a second flight from another base e,g. Manchester?

We have tried to arrange this flight in order to provide as many enthusiasts as possible with the opportunity to travel on this aircraft, and by making the aircraft available on a Sunday afternoon. There are no plans to arrange a Manchester departure on this aircraft prior to its retirement because the aircraft will be Gatwick-based until 13th April 2014, the date of the farewell flight

Is Monarch able to arrange transport to and from the airport?

Due to the level of complexity in providing onward ground transportation to almost 350 passengers to points all over the country, Monarch cannot assist in onward travel.

Is it possible to book the flight online?

Unfortunately the Enthusiasts Flight is not available for purchase online.
