Monarch hails record sales for new Cyprus link
March 30, 2009 Monarch Airlines is claiming that its new link between Birmingham Airport and the Cypriot resort of Larnaca has become its fastest selling service ever.
The low-cost carrier revealed that half of the 22,000 seats made available for the summer service have already been sold, despite the first flight taking off just yesterday (March 29).
Managing Director Tim Jeans said that the high level of demand reflects what he described as a gap in the market for West Midlands based holidaymakers.
The no-frills airline will be operating its connection twice a week on Wednesday and Sunday, with fares starting from £78.99 one-way, including all taxes.
It now operates 21 weekly flights to the picturesque Cypriot resort, with other services departing from London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester airports.
