Monarch Airlines is bringing forward the start of a scheduled service to Paphos and expanding capacity to Spain, Portugal and Cyprus from April.
Paphos flights from Gatwick and Manchester will now commence on April 13 with a service from Birmingham being introduced on May 4 as previously announced.
Additional flights will operate from Gatwick and Manchester throughout April to destinations such as Lanzarote, Tenerife, Alicante, Malaga, Majorca, Faro and Larnaca as well as the new services to Paphos.
Managing director Kevin George said: “We have been astonished by the soaring demand for Monarch flights in April, which we believe is being driven by the proximity of Easter to the additional bank holiday.
“Bookings for April are already up 49% compared with the same time last year with demand from customers still increasing. The addition of 31,000 extra seats into the timetable for April will cater for this demand over the long Easter period.”
