Kennedy International (JFK) on February 14 using its only aircraft, ex-Aurela (LSK, Vilnius International (VNO)) B757-200 N524AT (MSN 30233). It offers four daily services on the route and previously delayed its launch several times for various reasons.

Monarch Airlines (ZB, London Luton (LTN)) has cancelled its wet-lease agreement with Lithuanian charter carrier Aurela (LSK, Vilnius International (VNO)) with immediate effect after one the latter's B737-300s (LY-SKA, MSN 23972) has overrun the runway at Birmingham International (BHX) on landing on a flight for Monarch from Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE). Monarch has wet-leased several aircraft to increase its capacity temporarily because of high demand during the summer months. It currently also uses two B737-400s from Air Explore (ED, Bratislava Milan Rastislav Stefánik (BTS)) and Air Italy (I9, Milan Malpensa (MXP)) as well as a B757-200 from Titan Airways (ZT, London Stansted (STN)).
