Following the announcement that bmiBaby will be ceasing operations in the coming weeks, some airlines (in particular Monarch and Flybe) have increased their presence in the Midlands to compensate. As a result Monarch are basing 2 aircraft at East Midlands as of today, flying to Alicante, Faro, Malaga and Palma initially. The increase in flights at Monarch has resulted in a shortage of aircraft, leading to leased aircraft such as an Air Explore 737-400 and Titan 757-200 which have been flying from Birmingham recently.
