Ah yes, I had seen TUI 767’s at AMS last year, wasn’t aware of TUI in Belgium though.
Given that the UK arm has the biggest fleet overall, no surprise they are probably the worse performing in terms of technical issues etc.
But it’s a shame the Dreamliners are ageing so quick, both inside and out!

I've answered that in subsequent posts. If you have all the info maybe you should share yourself instead of making comments without backing up with facts?

Could be wrong but I don’t think the German 787 ops ever happened. Think it was planned pre-Covid but the 787s never ended up transferring in the end.

My last reply to you as it's becoming clear you're simply just trolling.
I haven't contradicted anything if you actually read properly. You made the statement along the lines of 'technical reliability of the 787 is shocking'
I said that that is factually incorrect. Yes there are issues within the fleet. Many of which I listed which are contributing to the current issues. But how much is purely down to the actual Technical despatch reliability? In my opinion not very much. The vast majority is down to poor planning, scheduling and a lack of downtime to catch up with scheduled maintenance.
I'm all ears if you have some actual facts or stats to back up your claims but as you've repeatedly not posted these then I strongly suspect you don't have any?

Yes you are correct they are tired. They desperately need a cabin overhaul and a paint (Although I think the issue with paint is there's few 787 approved paint sheds that have slots). But working them Day in day out. Yes they are a lot of work maintenance wise, but the TDR is way up there.
A lot of the problems TUI are facing are of their own doing, making the same mistakes as last year. Too tight a schedule, not enough downtime slots, maintenance normally done in winter is still being caught up with, not enough manpower, using the same absolute load of crap 3rd parties etc etc. The list could go on and on. Out on the front line it's like groundhogDay year.
Being the lumbering conservative company it is they'll probably realise their mistakes in a couple of years or so and dress it up in some fancy presentation as unforeseen circumstances.
The decision to not take the 787 was due to a forecast downturn in long haul. I'd suspect that the people in the operational teams would kill to have another -9 spare slack in the schedule. Again a typically TUI short sighted decision.

Newcastle
Forgive my ignorance but does TUI have a base in Newcastle? I do not think they do but I have just booked a Saturday flight to Verona next year and the flight departs at 6am! If so how many aircraft do they night stop there?

They certainly do. 4 x 737s this year and possibly 5 next year? Along with a part-time 787 for long haul.

I have been told that Tui are hoping that some of the reliability of ACMI carriers will be less from tommorow (1st July) As they have the summer only crew that only work July until Mid September which should mean that they have to use less 3rd party carriers due to not having enough cabin crew

If TUI do find themselves short of aircraft I’m wondering if they might look at consolidating some of there smaller bases into one? It’s already happened with long haul.
