Monarch expands Spanish services

Tue, 08 Apr, 2008

Monarch has announced plans to increase the frequency of its services between Birmingham Airport and a number of Spanish holiday hotspots later this year.

The airline's winter 2008-09 schedule includes daily flights to Alicante, Tenerife and Malaga, along with a three times a week service to Lanzarote.

It has also confirmed that it will fly from London Luton Airport to Tenerife daily and to Lanzarote three times a week.

Monarch's managing director for scheduled services Liz Savage said the changes had been made because of passenger demand for flights to the Canary Islands.

She added: "Our core routes to destinations such as Alicante and Malaga remain strong and with up to seven flights a week to both airports, our passengers will benefit from having more choice."

Last week Monarch launched new services from London Gatwick Airport to the Cypriot city of Larnaca and the Spanish holiday island of Menorca.
