Some were informed just minutes before they were due to board planes. The UK’s biggest peacetime repatriation is under way after the collapse of Monarch Airlines, with 110,000 customers to be brought home on specially chartered planes. Birmingham has already seen the arrival of 3 Qatar Airbus A320's, Plus Ultra Airbus A340, Titan Boeing 757, Omni Air Boeing 777 and more to be confirmed.
