Any actual proof of that? Theres been some pretty horrendous delays on both airlines recently.
Also comparing the 2 isn't a direct comparison. One is a short haul only airline and one has a decent size long haul fleet which brings in it's own issues.
Along with the known missing 9 aircraft (more in the group) the uk airline is also helping out the group with aircraft, particularly Scandinavia as and when they can. Despite the incredibly difficult conditions, lack of a/c, crap otp and all the other usual issues with weather/atc/tech issues I actually think the TUI ops department have done a very good job this summer. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to work in there that's for sure.
