Monarch scheduled passenger numbers down

Monarchââ¬â¢s scheduled passenger numbers were 7.79% down in February, compared to February 2008.

The airline carried almost 189,000 passengers on scheduled services during the month.

But it stressed that this figure was a 4.9% increase month on month when compared to January 2009, and claimed this showed that customers are still travelling despite reports to the contrary.

Load factors in February 2009 were 79.13%, just slightly down on 79.31% in February 2008.

Internet sales percentage remained constant at 89%.

Overall, for both scheduled and charter services, Monarch carried a total of 333,638 passengers during February 2009
