Indeed. Despite their calming messages about flights going ahead as normal, TUI are probably scrambling behind the scenes to move their flying programme out as soon as it can possibly be achieved.
I feel terribly sad for the airport staff who’ve had this dropped on them. I expect they’ll find work available at the other airports in the region if they want it, given the well-publicised shortages.
