TUI airways-2
There is also some flying by British Airways Cityflyer charters for TUI Holidays from other Northern and Scottish airports.
LTN (Luton was once the holy grail BY/TOM great main base) has just one based 737 there now!
STN and BOH have 2.
EXT has 1.
NWI, I have just read, has lost its TUI 737, and could now be an ACMI a/c.
Nothing based at LBA for years now, as you say.
All just W's using MAN EMA and BHX and FHY a/c.

It seems as if Luton is little more than a maintenance base for TUI these days. I hope LBA can regain TUI full time once the terminal has been improved. It's high time Jet2 had some firm competition. May not happen if Doncaster is reborn...

They're already there if booking a holiday. Once again, they are not operating for TUI Airways, but just an option for TUI holiday packes as a tour operator... so you will only see them when booking certain length holidays on certain dates from certain airports, just like with easyJet and BA etc that they already offer.

Wasn’t this strategy more for travel agents than Joe Public?

Exactly ! Back to my point of people really misunderstanding the whole thing. TUI travel agents can book freely using the correct Ryanair booking process. There will be the odd package out there though... Someone can keep looking....

TUIA flies to the USA tommorrow for a repaint. Scheduled to take 2 weeks, it will be followed by TUIC, then TUIB.
The remainder of the 787-8s will be for next winter.
At last, they get a paint job!!

I flew in TUIJ (a 787-9) not so long ago and I'd say that needs a visit to the paintshop aswell - the wing upper surfaces were like a patchwork quilt.

Perhaps one of the others is going first, although nothing showing on FR24.
