TUI are having a tough time of it at the moment. The problem is they do not have any competition on their long haul packages to the likes of Mexico and caribbean. Yes you can fly via Europe or the States but how many families really want the hassle, especially from places like Manchester.
As Mexico and the like continue to rise in popualrity what are the chances of another operator (Jet2 springs to mind using leased equipment) getting interested in operating a few rotations a week? We go to Mexico a couple of times a year and would love the opportunity of booking flight only and sorting our own accomodation out.
