So, as mentioned earlier on this thread, Monarch want to expand their short haul scheduled network with maybe another dozen aircraft added to the fleet. And the long haul routes being phased out.
In my humble opinion, its totally the wrong course considering the amount of competition from its main bases into mainland Europe from the powerhouses easyJet and Ryanair. For me, long haul routes should be maintained and expanded. I also believed it was wrong to cancel the B787 order.
So, what routes/gaps in the market are currently "available"; with no real competition from EZY/FR? Any ideas what these potential new destinations could be?
For me, I'd expand to...
- Boa Vista - Cape Verde Islands
- Marrakech - Morocco
- Djerba - Tunisia
- Luqa - Malta
- Funchal - Portugal
Any more?
