Yes I heard G-TUIL B789 is to replace G-TUIG as there will be a B789 based at MAN from
April. |
The Guardian
Tui's male employees paid more than double female staff – report Travel group’s report says women earn 56.9% less than men but it is ‘not an equal pay issue’ |
Means nothing, the article is not comparing like with like.
Its obvious that a pilot will earn more than cabin crew, regardless of gender. All the pilots are paid the same, regardless of gender, all the cabin crew are paid the same, regardless of gender. Shock horror....pilots earn more than Cabin Crew. |
What is happening to journalism? That’s an awful article.
|
The next 787-9, G-TUIL will be delivered from Seattle tonight arriving into MAN in the early hours of Saturday morning where it will spend a few days with engineering mods before entering service.
G-TUIM due mid May G-TUIG will transfer to Jetair in Belgium |

Not sure of the plans for the two new arrivals next year, I'd imagine three at Gatwick, one at Manchester. They're much more premium heavy than the -8s, so better suited to the LGW market. Hadn't anticipated they would dispose of 788s when the 9s arrived. Harder to predict how much further the route network can expand with the 787 fleet now. |

suppose its like the 762's getting ditched for 763's back in the day as economies of scale and increased efficiencies were realised. I personally preferred the proportions of 762 and this 788

Have I missed something but where does it actually state that TUI UK are disposing of their Boeing 788 fleet in favour of the Boeing 789?
|
TUI Group aren’t removing than 788 however just shovelling the deck chairs so to speak

One 788 is going from UK to Belgium, whilst two 789 join the UK fleet. That's all.
|
When do TUI UK start receiving the Max aircraft ? I was talking to a TUI base engineer and was saying that some of the older 737s were getting harder to maintain and the cabins in particular were getting very tired as don’t have the Sky interior.
I presume the Max10s will go to the 757 bases so they can do the longer routes. |
Yes they are just optimising 787 fleet.
They can’t stop using the 788 as it has better runway performance for the likes of Bristol. The 789 needs a longer take-off field length to do Cancun for example. The economics of the 789 operating from BRS would be worse than the 788. |
Summer 2019
TUI reveals 'most ambitious programme ever'
40 new routes in total planned for Summer 2019 from 15 UK airports, 65% of which will be unique to TUI. Focus for growth reportedly being Birmingham, Cardiff, Doncaster/Sheffield, East Midlands, Glasgow-Intl and Manchester who'll collectively represent 60% of growth. Additional capacity being added to Croatia, Greece, Turkey and Cape Verde. Described as "'dynamic regional aviation plan'" and "the most ambitious programme [TUI] have ever introduced." Summer 2019 flights and holidays go on sale Thursday 5th April. New routes/additions confirmed so far... Cardiff New routes to Dubrovnik and Naples Summer flights to Hurghada Added frequencies to Corfu, Kos, Paphos, Rhodes and Zante Increase to 3x based aircraft 100,000 additional seats Doncaster/Sheffield New short/mid-haul routes to Bodrum, Hurghada, Kos and Pula Long-haul flights introduced; New route to Orlando/Sanford Added frequencies to Alicante, Antalya, Rhodes and Zante Increase to 3x based aircraft + Dreamliner services to SFB 110,000 additional seats |
24 new routes have been unveiled so far...
Aberdeen-Rhodes Birmingham-Split Birmingham-Thessaloniki Birmingham-Agadir Birmingham-Izmir Bournemouth-Kefalonia Bournemouth-Antalya Bournemouth-Heraklion Cardiff-Dubrovnik Cardiff-Naples Doncaster/Sheffield-Bodrum Doncaster/Sheffield-Hurghada Doncaster/Sheffield-Kos Doncaster/Sheffield-Pula Doncaster/Sheffield-Orlando/Sanford East Midlands-Faro East Midlands-Santorini Exeter-Zakinthos Exeter-Heraklion Exeter-Antalya Liverpool-Dalaman Luton-Hurghada Luton-Thessaloniki Luton-Heraklion ...other 16 still to be made public. Guess new capacity will be allocated to LGW, STN, MAN, BRS, GLA, BFS and possibly a few new routes destined to other secondary airports for TUI such as LBA, EDI or even SEN, SOU, HUY, LDY. Apparently no additional destinations for NCL and NWI, but increased frequencies on existing routes. As for TUI Ireland: Dublin-Paphos Dublin-Dalaman |
Is all this expansion based on Max deliveries? With some 757s leaving the fleet before S19 and the amount of additional flights im guessing no airports are losing capacity in order to shift aircraft elsewhere?
|
Its expansion based on something. No one knows yet. Could be additional aircraft into TUIA or could be 3rd party. Internal comms suggests this decision is still to be made, although that could just be HR malarkey as company/union are locking horns at the moment.
Recruitment has opened earlier than normal so that maybe a hint that the company are gearing towards a busy training year and thus having to start earlier than normal if the expansion comes in-house. |

even the most recent (18 yo) a/c BYAA/AB went to the scrappers BRIF/BRIG and BOPB saw life with Excel Silverjet and Jordan Av. all were ER and CF6 80 powered but they did not have large forward cargo doors and had little resale in them configs were 2-4-2 seating and was tight 4 x 763's remain now but only the BY -304 build and not any of the ex AMM or UKL a/c remain BRS airport once they lose the 757's from there will see more operational difficulties with op'g 737-800 or MAX from there due to runway length and weather issues |

The 737-800s have been operating on routes to the Canaries, Cyprus, Turkey and the Greek Islands as well as on shorter routes. Have there been problems with them at BRS during this time? I've not heard or read about any. |
