I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with this. It’s offering flexibility where TUI Airways can’t. I don’t think it’s the beginning of the end of the in-house airline, but it is designed to bolster accommodation sales as TUI own a lot of their own hotels/apartments. Also adds to Ryanair’s load factor, will expect more U.K. airports to be added on the back of this.
