I believe TUI (as Thomas Cook also did previously) file certain non-EU routings as 'scheduled' services for a traffic permits point of view. The reason is that for those countries, the authorities will not allow TUI to sell seat only on a "charter" flight into their territory - hence why these are filed as "schedules". The reality is, as we all know, it makes no actual difference - just a paperwork exercise.
