A year ago TUI UK bosses were publicly mulling over if to drop the MAX fleet name...They have removed all ref to TUI UK as operating the MAX a/c.
As yet the UK Company has not made any further announcements.
A few months back partner TUI Fly will in the future identify its Boeing 737 MAX aircraft as “737-8” in flight plans and operations.
Ryanair had already dropped the word MAX and has used the 737-8 200 moniker for their unique MAX type fleet it has on order.

Back in the summer 5 new TUI MAX a/c were sold and will be leased back to the airline to raise $226m for TUI.
TUI Group currently have 15 grounded MAX aircraft and 8 more built awaiting delivery.
Also now TUI have put back the timescale on anymore Max deliveries reducing the intake over the next few years, under a broad agreement with Boeing to compensate for the type’s grounding since March 2019.

The UK withdraws completely from the EASA system on 1 January 2021, meaning that the CAA will need to fulfil regulatory functions without having EASAas a regulatory body. The respective positions outlined in the EU and UK negotiating mandates make clear that the UK will no longer participate in EASA systems after the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020.
