Monarch Airlines is 'trading well'; expected to be EBITDA positive in current financial year

Monarch Airlines, via its official blog, stated (26-Sep-2016) it is "trading well" despite recent negative speculation about Monarch's financial health. The carrier said: "Monarch is trading well and is expected to achieve an EBITDA of over GBP40m at the end of this financial year (October 2016). This is despite a difficult period for the holiday industry due to terrorist incidents, Brexit and the resulting devaluation of sterling. Our flights and holidays are operating as normal, carrying Monarch customers as scheduled. To weather tougher market conditions and to fund its ongoing growth, Monarch expects to announce a significant investment from its stakeholders in the coming days." [more - original PR]
