Monarch launches scheduled flights from London to Cyprus
- First low fares airline to operate scheduled flights to the Eastern Mediterranean –
Award winning low fares airline Monarch is to launch scheduled flights from London to Cyprus next year as the airline expands its network to the Eastern Mediterranean. The introduction of the four times per week service from London Luton to Larnaca will be the first low-cost scheduled flights to Cyprus from the UK, offering travellers the flexibility and low fares, not currently available through high fare flag carriers or on charter services.
Monarch’s new Larnaca service will commence on Monday 26 March 2007 with fares from £69.99 one way including taxes
Commenting on the introduction of services to Cyprus, managing director of Monarch’s scheduled services, Tim Jeans said, “We are delighted to be the first low fares airline to launch scheduled services to the Eastern Mediterranean, a market that has historically been dominated by the flag carriers and charter services.
“Cyprus Airways and British Airways have operated a high fares cartel to Cyprus for decades which we’ll break with our widely available, flexible low fares. Our new service will be warmly welcomed not just by the growing holiday and overseas property markets in Cyprus, but the 150,000 strong Greek-Cypriot community in London, who’ve been deprived of choice and low fares until now.
“Monarch’s onboard service is also perfectly placed to provide an ideal level of service for the four and a half hour flight time, with extra legroom seating, free inflight entertainment - including full length feature films and the provision of hot and cold food all available.”
Flights to Larnaca will operate on Monday, Tuesday*, Wednesday and Saturday using Airbus A321 aircraft with 213 seats.

Hi I am just wondering does the B757 do any long haul from LGW?
Besides do you fancy 7 hours in a 235pax config?
Yes, the company are looking for younger 757's, although they are as rare as a politician telling the truth I'm told.
What is likely to happen is that they will soldier on for a wee bit more, eventually being replaced by A321's and potentially the new Boeing narrowbody to allow mixed fleet flying with the 787's that will be arriving in 3-5 years.

757s
As my (now ex) wife was pregnant with my daughter at the time the oldest 757 will I think be 24 in March, with NC and ND almost as old. Monarch seem to have looked after them though as they still appear to reliable. Anyone know how much longer they could theoretically and economically remain in service given their utlisation.

Does anyone know if Monarch will be adding any flights from CWL this year? or will it be the usual CWL - Orlando Sanford?
And does anyone know if they will change handling at CWL to Aviance instead of Servisair? as Aviance are the old Midland Airport Services (MAS) which ceased to operate at CWL.
Many Thanks

Monarch aren't operating the CWL-SFB route this year. MyTravel and Thomas Cook (who chartered them for years) are now using TOM's seats.
So the only SFB flights this year will be TOM, and Travel City through Aug.
I'd love to see more of Monarch at CWL, short haul and long haul!

What are the 3 x MON long haul aircraft doing different this Summer? NCL & CWL to SFB reduced gives a couple of long haul return flights elsewhere that they didnt do last Summer, where they headed?
