No airline is obliged to take on any flying on behalf of a tour operator, and fair enough if Monarch don’t want to play ball, that’s our choice. However, announcing the outcome of negotiations in TTG seems like a bit of a desperate attempt to raise the stakes.
I’d just like to know how the Monarch group think they can make more money (or lose less money) selling Greek part charter capacity in house using their incredibly weak tour operator.
Rationale like that WAS the undoing of XL.
