Monarch Scheduled launching new flights to Gran Canaria (LPA) from MAN / LGW and BHX. I understand that FUE is to be launched from MAN / LTN / LGW and BHX for Winter 09/10 as well. A good fit into their current network..they should do well.
Long overdue I think...
Certainly at MAN and BHX, they are the main scheduled carrier to the hotspots both during the summer and winter and to have LPA not in your timetable seems a weird.
Also fits in well at LTN and LGW where they again have large scheduled services which they share with easyJet.
Obviously they have the charter flights on these routes which they do sell seats on but now that they will have scheduled services it will increase avaliablility and should complement the charter flights quite well.
How many a/c are based in MAN this summer and winter anyway? Has it increased with some more A321s?
