Monarch launches its second destination in the Canary Islands from East Midlands

Monarch started its second route from East Midlands (EMA) to the Canary Islands on 30 October, following flights to Lanzarote, which only launched a day earlier. The leisure carrier now also offers twice-weekly flights to Tenerife South (TFS), which will be operated with A320s. Competition on the route comes from Ryanair and Thomson Airways, which serve the route with each thrice-weekly flights, as well as from twice-weekly frequencies from both Jet2.com and Thomas Cook.
