Monarch adds one more winter sun route to the Canary Islands from East Midlands

Monarch continues to expand its presence in East Midlands (EMA), where it previously launched flights to a number of popular sun destinations in the Mediterranean. On 29 October, the leisure airline began operating services to Lanzarote (ACE), making the lunar-like island the first out of the two destinations it will offer in the Canary Islands this winter season, with services to Tenerife South launching on 30 October. Flights on the 2,800-kilometre route are offered with twice-weekly frequencies and are operated with A320 aircraft. Competition on the route comes from Ryanair and Thomson Airways, which also offer each twice-weekly flights, as well as from weekly frequencies each by Jet2.com and Thomas Cook.
