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!

How so. Please enlighten me, or are you ignorant to the facts and the current issues they are creating so far this summer season?

The internet is your friend... TUI fly Nordic have long haul in the winter and in the recent past TUI fly Germany has operated on a transferred UK 787.

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.

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?

So basically contradicting yourself then. :rolleyes:

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 groundhog Day 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.

TUI are stuffed now and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jet2 end up buying their UK business.

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?

Apparently in for maintenance at STS

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
