A lot of UK charter airlines main fleet are 757’s what do you think will replace these, as some are 20years plue i.e Monarch and My Travel.
Also is’nt the TUI group looking to replace there mixed fleet and standardise on one or two types, cant really see Britannia with scare-buses?
Anybody any thoughts

The charter market needs to evolve if it wants to survive in the face of low cost competition so the answer does not lie with any variant of the 737. The future for charter is the A330 and eventually the 7e7. Charters need to look at going further afield and bulk movement to shorthaul locations.
Agreed, this is the market the 7E7 is aimed at.
757 operators I mean.

737-800 and if ever build the 737-900ER, also the A321 of course.
