That's leaves 1 spare B738, and 1 spare B789 (SE-RFZ) as standby aircraft.
Currently G-TUIF is a LTN being configured for short haul, SE-RFZ at AMM for maintenance, G-TAWD at St Athan's, due to enter service this week, G-TAWN at Birmingham, expected to enter service Wednesday, G-TUMP, due to be delivered LGW 11th June.
Still a question mark over the A321 SmartLynx lease, but TUI website is still showing its seating plan on some Manchester flights.
