Possible Monarch UK regional expansion in summer 2012
Monarch Travel Group tour operations director, Hugh Morgan, said today that the group was considering an increase in regional flying next year.
They are looking at basing aircraft at Bristol, East Midlands and Newcastle airports in summer 2012.
He said it would be a big investment but they couldn't use a foreign carrier as 'people don't necessarily support it', so they would have to base aircraft at the airports mentioned.
It wasn't so many years ago that regional airports of all sizes in the UK saw a myriad of foreign carriers on charter flights, so I don't quite follow the argument.
