TUI still woefully short of aircraft, G-TUIF, SE-RFZ still in maintenance, G-TAWD, G-TAWN, G-TAWP still not yet re-entered service!!
Makes you wonder if they should have taken up all of the G-TUK* series of aircraft they were going to take pre pandemic, but I suppose they’d still have to find crew for them which may have been an extra problem in itself
