Monarch Airlines has unveiled a major expansion into the Mediterranean for summer 2012 with the launch of 14 new routes to Croatia, Italy and Greece.

Routes to Croatia will see new services offered to Dubrovnik from three UK airports – Manchester, Birmingham and London Gatwick. 

Commenting on the expansion plans, Managing Director of Monarch Airlines, Kevin George said: 

“The strategy for Monarch Airlines is now firmly focused on its scheduled operations and we are delighted to be adding these new routes to our already extensive network of leisure destinations across Europe.

“In addition to growing our network, we are committed to providing high levels of care and service for our customers and are constantly striving for innovative ways of providing great value benefits for them at year-round low fares.

“The introduction of our discounted ‘Happy Hour’ cheap flights and our fight against unjust debit and credit card fees are examples of ways in which Monarch Airlines looks after its customers and we are excited about introducing these initiatives across our expanding network.”

Flights on Monarch’s new routes to Dubrovnik will be on sale from Friday, 4th November via www.monarch.co.uk and available to book until October 2012.
