Agreed - although I suppose you could argue Jet2 seem to deal with the significant delays better as they do seem to be able to move things around a little. TUI have been relying heavily throughout the summer on Wamos coming in to cover these gaps at MAN, BHX & DSA. It cannot have come cheap.
Without wanting to sound like it’s all doom and gloom with TUI, as we all know it’s been an incredibly difficult year due to a multitude of reasons, what are they going to do for S23? Likely to be no Sunwing (which will affect ABZ, NWI, CWL, BFS). If I remember correctly, they had postponed and spread their Max delivery out due to the grounding of the fleet and the 788/789s expected are unlikely to make an impact. Suppose there’s an argument they shouldn’t have got rid of some of their 757/767s but let’s not get into that!… :-)
