TUI Airlines

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The TUI Airline Management (previously TUIfly ) since 2005, the integration of all residents in Europe airlines of the tourism group TUI .

Since the originally used umbrella brand TUIfly is now also used by the airline of the same name , TUI has switched to grouping all associated airlines under the term TUI Airlines . However, TUI Airlines do not form a flight alliance between several independent airlines in the traditional sense. Rather, the flight schedules are coordinated with one another, and the companies appear in public largely with a uniform appearance, based on the TUI corporate design. The airlines are subsidiaries of TUI Travel plc and are assigned to the regions of Central, Northern and Western Europe.

In May 2015, TUI announced that it would merge all airlines with the exception of Corsair under a single brand over the next few years. In the course of this, all companies should have access to the entire group fleet, while the individual Air Operator Certificates remain in place. The standardization is to begin with the Belgian Jetairfly and the Dutch Arkefly and be completed with the German TUIfly .

At the beginning of October 2018 it was announced that TUI intends to sell the airline Corsair International to Intro Aviation . On March 5, 2019, the Irish company Diamondale took over the airline from TUI. The company is 53 percent owned by Intro Aviation, 27 percent by the TUI Group and 20 percent by employees of the airline.

As of December 2019, TUI Airlines included the following airlines:
