I think we probably can! Britannia had such high standards nothing would be allowed to diminish their brand! The thinking here is that TUI don’t care as much. While everyone will have different thoughts I always remember Thomson trying to use quality third parties and modern aircraft when they didn’t use Britannia. Intasun on the other hand wouldn’t be shy using Aviogenex tu134’s, Balkan tu 154’s and “new” Turkish carriers such as Talia and Toros Air (look them up!).
