    Official statement from Monarch...
    26th September, 2016

    Over the weekend, there has been negative speculation about Monarch’s financial health.

    Monarch is trading well and is expected to achieve an EBITDA of over £40m 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.
