"Highlights of Monarch's Plan According To Commercial Director:
Monarch are to add 4 more aircraft to their fleet this summer to enable them to operate the new flights from birmingham and what not, with the fleet rising to 38 next summer.
They are also looking at opening a new regional base in the UK next year - LBA?
They are also looking at standardizing their current fleet.

New Base: I would guess at Leeds Bradford, Bristol or Liverpool as they are trying to be a low cost carrier and these are low cost hubs, especially Liverpool. Bristol or Liverpool would be the most likely I think.
Fleet: My money would be on a full A320 series fleet in the next few years.
They need to scrub up on their punctuality because low cost airlines have the best OTP and monarch just cant compete at the moment.
