Monarch Airlines adds new route trios

Monarch Airlines enters three new sectors in Croatia, Portugal and Sweden.

Beautiful baking in Birmingham. Monarch Airlines commenced two new routes from the UK Midlands airport, both on 28 April, to Sweden’s Stockholm Arlanda and Portugal’s Porto. Both sectors will be flown three times weekly.

Manchester Airport’s Head of Aviation Development, Robert Smith was joined by Monarch Airlines’ Regional Ground Operations Manager Janet Tideswell to celebrate the launch of three new routes to Porto, Stockholm Arlanda and Zagreb. Monarch is the only airline to fly to the Croatian capital from Manchester Airport. Porto is its fourth destination in Portugal, joining Faro, Lisbon and Madeira, and this will be the first time the airline has flown to the Swedish capital from the UK airport.

• Monarch Airlines has started nine new routes from four of its UK bases over the past seven days – three each to Croatia, Portugal and Sweden. The average sector length of the nine routes is 1,471 kilometres, with the shortest airport pair being the 1,336-kilometre service from London Gatwick (LGW) to Zagreb (ZAG), while the longest is the 1,931-kilometre route from Manchester (MAN) to Dubrovnik (DBV). The average weekly frequency of the nine routes is just below 2.7, with six of the new sectors being operated three times weekly. Only three of the airport pairs will not see any direct competition for the LCC, with the most competitive route being the Manchester to Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) route, offering 15 weekly competing frequencies from the two incumbents SAS (13) and Norwegian (two). See how Porto Airport’s FTWA compared to others from around the world.
