Monarch

Indeed great news although it would be nice to know BHX's input, although on the route selection you would have to guess very little.

Five routes but only one new destination in Venice. I like the idea of Rome but baby announced that a few months ago. Dubrovnik was tried at three weekly by flybe and they reduced it to weekly but are still operating it weekly in summer. Hopefully Monarch should be okay with this one as I assume it is a growing market.

Milan is one I would never have guessed but Heraklion is not surprising. The new routes certainly don't come anywhere near filling two aircraft and I assume the Palma frequency might revert to daily and LCA and DLM increased?

Madrid is possibly the only route I might have expected with the much vaunted tie-up with Air Europa and perhaps Pisa.
