The media had been reporting that only Monarch's package holiday arm was likely to be affected (at least in the short term) by the withdrawal of their ATOL certification, with their scheduled services continuing normally. However the CAA statement makes it clear that the whole lot has gone under:

(At the moment the link to more detailed information on the CAA page doesn't seem to be working. There's also nothing on the Monarch site at all yet).

I've been trying to work out which airline might be next to go.
The big boys, like Ryanair and easyJet, look safe enough. Jet2's finances are reasonably strong. Thomson, with the backing of the TUI group, is probably safe but, despite its proud heritage, Thomas Cook continues to struggle and might be at risk. An airline possibly to avoid though could be FlyBe, as they've struggled to make any profits for years.

I used Monarch a lot during my days in Spain. When I got on the internet to compare prices I noted after a while that Monarch would clock your IP address so if you went back to book it a short while later, the price for the same flight would jump up by £10. I quickly learnt to check Monarch last.
On another occasion I had to cancel a flight and was told I wasn't entitled to a refund. I told them I was entitled to claim my £40 tax back and they said there would be a £39.95 admin charge for doing so. Crooks!
