When and from where they will get them from, l don't know but maybe within the group.
Think I thought they were doing long haul already! Surprising they weren't. At least the group has the experience. I expect they'll come from within the group/current orders.

TUIfly GmbH operated a couple of B763 4 or 5 years ago, although form memory they didn't carry TUI pax one operated for Eurowings and perhaps the other for Air Berlin (can't rememebr if it was AB)

Otherwise, the last time they actually operated their own longhaul programme, was when they had their fleet of A310 aircraft, the last of which left in 2006

I wonder where all the extra Aircraft are coming from, bearing in mind the MAX issues. Will they be TUI aircraft or Wet leased in???

I’m wondering with the recruitment of 100 (presumably airbus rated) pilots from Thomas cook whether there might be plans for some airbus’s to join the fleet, at least temporarily.

Plenty of 737NG's available these days, despite the MAX. There will be no Airbus sub-fleet.

The colour scheme would be fascinating if were over the top of one of the ex-MON/TCX hybrid schemes.

Wasn't the Russian arm of TUI A321 not in TUI colours at one point?

I'd love it if they got some more 757s, a brilliant aircraft. I know they won't though, although they could keep the ones they've got, they haven't done that many hours.

A chap I know has joined TUI from Ryanair and is thrilled to be flying 787s soon.

Its a Photoshop but gives an idea of what a TCX/TUI hybrid would look like if it was to come about.

The average age of the TUI 757 fleet is 19 years old. If you look at their oldest 757 G-BYAW (ex Britannia) (24 years old) then it’s done around 87,000 hours and G-BYAY (ex Britannia) (21 years old) 76,000 hours then yes they have. However if you look at the 757’s inherited through the merger with Air 2000/First Choice Airways then most have plenty of flying hours left in them. G-OOBF (ex Air 2000/First Choice Airways) (15 years old), the youngest has only 45,000 flying hours. G-OOBC, G-OOBD, G-OOBE along with the previously mentioned G-OOBF are some of the youngest 757 frames out there (all delivered new to the airline (Air 2000/First Choice Airways as it was at the time prior to the merger) and have flown 51,000 hours or less. G-OOBA, G-OOBB, G-OOBP and G-OOBN have all also flown less than 57,000 hours. G-CPEV and G-OOBG both have around 65,000 hours so you can argue they are starting to get on a bit but are still relatively young compared with Jet2’s 757 fleet. Their 757 fleet has an average age of nearly 30 years. A number of their most heavily used examples have flown over 80,000 hours. So although far from young the vast majority of the TUI 757 fleet have plenty of flying hours left in them. Hence they are prime candidates for freighter conversion, once they finish their passenger duties.

I would've thought the recruitment for 2019 crews would've been put on hold or at least slowed down given the Max groundings. So any recruitment TUI mention probably covers any 2019 top ups and 2020 expansion. Really can't see A321's in the fleet unless they are leased in from another Airlines. The introduction of a new fleet type takes a hell of a lot of time, work and money to execute, and would unlikely be worth it if it's only a temporary measure until new Boeing aircraft arrive.
It's more than likely TUI Holidays will find capacity elsewhere (EZY/DY/VY) and TUI Airways will try and keep some of the 757's 767's longer to support capacity increases.
