Monarch Airlines carries 3.7 million scheduled passengers in 2007
(c) Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation: Monarch Airlines celebrated a record-breaking year carrying 3.7 million scheduled passengers during 2007, a 15.8% year-on-year increase.

 

The launch of eight new routes during the year helped passenger numbers surge with the introduction of Birmingham to Ibiza; London Gatwick to Ibiza and Murcia; London Luton to Almeria, Ibiza and Larnaca as well as Manchester to Ibiza and Jerez services.

Capacity increases on a number of popular routes and the launch of further new services in 2008 is expected to further stimulate growth for the airline in 2008. Following on from the successful launch of services from London Luton to Larnaca in Mar-07, the LCC will continue its expansion to the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as add a new service from Manchester to Murcia in Feb-08. 

Passenger traffic for Dec-07 also improved 10.6% year-on-year to over 184,500 passengers.
