I strongly suspect that all of the wet/damp leases from the various ACMi operators will have been cancelled as have J2. Im guessing at a reasonable penalty (however the force majeure card may have been played).
Regarding the sunwing canadian aircraft, again doubtful if they'll be seen in the UK this year, but suspect seeing as though TUI own half of sunwing doubt there will be any penalty to cancelling these.
Regarding the 757 fleet, several of these were extended to remain in the fleet just for the summer so a distinct possibility these will exit pretty sharpish.
So I'd (optimistically) expect the majority of TUI's remaining own leased Fleet to remain operational towards the year end, including the 757/767.
The next big question is what do they do with the max order seeing as though the rumours are its nearing recertification........
I agree, most of the fleet will probably remain apart from those aircraft due to leave anyway. The question is whether many of them will fly during S20 now that the government are urging people not to book summer holidays this year.
