Flights to Dubrovnik will operate three times a week from London Gatwick airport (on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays) and two times a week from Birmingham airport (on Tuesdays and Saturdays).

Along with flights to Dubrovnik, Monarch Airlines launched today flights to Heraklion on Crete, Greece. The new routes are part of Monarch’s expansion strategy which will firmly focus on its scheduled operations and expansion of its network to new leisure destinations across Europe.

Commenting on the launch of new routes, Kevin George, Managing Director of Monarch Airlines said:

“We are delighted to add both Croatia and Crete to our already extensive scheduled network of leisure destinations. The addition of these new routes further reinforces our expansion strategy and our position as the leading leisure focused airline serving the Mediterranean and the Canaries

“Dubrovnik is an extremely popular tourist destination with over a million holidaymakers visiting last year and Crete has always been a staple beach holiday favourite; we are therefore confident that our product offering is perfectly placed for the Croatian and Greek leisure market,” added George.
