MONARCH AIRLINES, the long established Luton-based carrier, now predominately a scheduled airline, has taken the Boeing route for its future aircraft requirements.
Currently operating a mixed long haul fleet of Airbus A300, A330-200 and Boeing 767, the airline has opted for the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners with a firm order for six and option
for a further four. First deliveries will start in 2010.
To date, including Monarch, 32 customers have logged 420 orders and commitments for the new wide body, due to make its maiden flight next year.
