General Information

Monarch Airlines was created on 5 June 1967 by former British Eagle International Airlines directors Bill Hodgson and Don Peacock. Based in Luton in London, Monarch began commercial airline operations on 5 April 1968 with a charter flight from Luton to Madrid.When the group was founded in 1967 it had just 146 staff; today this has grown to over 3,000. In those early days, Monarch had just two aircraft unlike today where they have around 32 of the world's most modern jet aircraft, each flying over six million people to over 100 destinations worldwide every year. Many airlines who were in business back in the '60s have long since disappeared, but Monarch has kept on flying.
