According to Companies House, the new Monarch was founded in January. A new website and social media accounts have also been launched, the BBC reported.
“On Aug. 18, we took the first decisive step in our mission to relaunch a much-loved name in the U.K. travel industry when Monarch Airlines and Monarch Holidays were taken under new ownership,” a company spokesperson said.
“We are now building a new Monarch and are eager to share more with the traveling public in the very near future.”
When the company ceased operations in October 2017, it was the fifth-largest airline in the United Kingdom.
