This will be covering the continued MAX8 grounding. As you may know, TUI Airways has also acquired additional leased Boeing 737s to cover this grounding.

Confirmed 100% SX-ABY entered service today BHX-VRN-BHX-PFO and currently on its way back.
I have read several reasons for the delay in entering service such as "paperwork" or "reconfiguring the seats".
Titan 757 also operating at BHX the last two days as mentioned on the BHX thread.
