Monarch, the leading scheduled leisure airline, has celebrated their first flights
from Birmingham Airport to the World Heritage City of Bordeaux, and Split, on
Croatia's Dalmatian coast that took off on Wednesday 22 May 2013
   
Monarch Airbus A320-214 G-OZBW operated the inaugural flights to both Bordeaux and Split
The first passengers to check-in for the inaugural flight to Bordeaux were presented
with a "golden ticket" for two free flights to the destination of their choice on the
Monarch scheduled network from Birmingham. Mr & Mrs Mann from Winsford,
Cheshire, were delighted when they were presented with their surprise voucher

Bordeaux is the perfect destination for a weekend city break, with flights operating
on a Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, is a jewel of 18th century architecture and at the centre of one of the largest
fine wine regions in the world
   
Later in the day passengers on the flight to Split, including the Corti family from
Brampton, Cambridgeshire and Mr & Mrs Hardwick from Suffolk were greeted at
check-in with cake and champagne to celebrate the first departure to the new
scheduled destination. Split, on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast, is an increasingly
popular destination for holidaymakers providing great transport links to a number
of islands including Solta and Brac, as well as other coastal towns and holiday
destinations. Flights to Split operate on a Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
 
Monarch passengers enjoy the celebration cake!
Kevin George, Monarch Airlines' Managing Director said, "We are delighted to
be celebrating the start of these new routes from Birmingham Airport giving
our customers in the Midlands an even greater range of summer sun
destinations and bringing the total number of Monarch destinations for 2013
from Birmingham Airport to 28. We pride ourselves on offering attractive
fares combined with a high standard of service and we are very much looking
forward to welcoming customers on these new routes"

Paul Kehoe, CEO of Birmingham Airport, said, "The launch of these new flights
with Monarch to Split and Bordeaux will provide Midlanders with even more
choice and affordable fares to these popular summer destinations. We're
delighted that the airline has committed to this expansion from Birmingham
where it is now one of our largest airlines"
