More Monarch flights launching this summer

NEW flights to key leisure destinations across the Mediterranean will be launched from late summer 2012 from Monarch Airlines new base at East Midlands Airport.

Destinations will include Malaga, Alicante, Palma de Mallorca and Faro (Portugal).

Monarch will also expand its operation from Birmingham Airport with more frequency on existing flights to the above four destinations and Rome as well as an additional route to Barcelona.

A UK base for Monarch since 2005, the airline is already one of Birmingham’s leading scheduled airline, flying over 875,000 passengers every year to over twenty destinations across Europe.

“As an airline with over 40 years heritage and a stronghold in the Midlands already, the expansion of our existing services from Birmingham and the launch of operations from East Midlands makes perfect sense for Monarch,” said Managing Director of Monarch Airlines, Kevin George.
