Monarch Airlines prepares relaunch six years after bankruptcy
Monarch Airlines, which operated out of London Luton Airport until 2017, confirmed that it is preparing its relaunch and that its new headquarters will be in the Bedfordshire location.
The company announced that Monarch Airlines and Monarch Holidays have been taken over by new owners.
The firm had its origins in a travel company founded in 1928, and the airline was established in Luton in 1968.

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.
