Summer 2023 for TUI

TUI Airways will offer over ten million flight seats this summer for holiday destinations and its Marella cruise programme.  

The airline operates from 13 UK airports with the lead Manchester providing a planned 2.3 million seats and ten daily destinations including a new route to Budapest.

Back in 2013 TUI became the first British operator of the Boeing 787 and now has a fleet of 14.  Short-haul the airline operates around 50 Boeing 737 series.

Andrew Flintham, TUI’s Managing Director, said: “Our customers want more flexibility and to be able to choose a departure airport that is close to home – and that is exactly what the new TUI 2024 summer programme has been designed to do. We want every one of our customers to be able to create a holiday as unique as they are – departure airport, destination and duration are all key components which come together to make the perfect TUI holiday.

“The 2024 programme will see extra flights departing from across the UK with additional TUI flying from Glasgow, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Bristol, and East Midlands. Each region of the UK will see significant increase in flight seats offering more holidays to those living in the region.”

Two additional aircraft and 180,000 extra flight seats at Glasgow Airport will make 2024 the biggest ever programme for TUI from the airport. The increase includes new flights to Cape Verde and Greece, as well as six exclusive routes.  100,000 additional seats are planned for Birmingham with one additional aircraft, and 13 exclusive routes to Agadir, Boa Vista, Cancun, Enfidha, Hurghada, Kavala, Marrakech, Orlando-Melbourne Florida, Montego Bay, Pula, Punta Cana, Sal and Sharm El Sheikh.

A new aircraft and a 33% increase of 60,000 additional seats are scheduled for Bournemouth Airport, with a new route to Enfidha (Tunisia) and increased frequency to Ibiza, Lanzarote, Menorca, Heraklion, Paphos and Tenerife.

An additional aircraft will help provide new routes to Boa Vista and Cape Verde from Bristol Airport, as well as 120,000 additional short- and mid-haul seats planned with daily flights to popular destinations.

Newcastle will also benefit from one additional aircraft based at the airport to help with 120,000 extra seats and new routes to Cape Verde and Egypt.

A new direct route to Sharm El Sheik (Egypt) from Cardiff Airport will be introduced as well as 40,000 additional seats.  It will be the biggest programme ever from East Midlands with four exclusive routes, one additional aircraft, 100,000 extra flight seats and new routes to Sal (Cape Verde). Extra flights to Crete and Rhodes have been added at Exeter Airport, plus 15,000 more seats.

Two million seats are planned for summer 2024 from Gatwick with new routes to Budapest and Marsa Alam. After over 60 years of presence at Luton, there will be 14 weekly flights to four countries with increased frequency to Dalaman and Antalya.

Stansted has 30,000 additional seats planned for increased flight frequency to Cyprus, Greece and Turkey – offering more choice and flexibility.

Teesside Airport will benefit from a new weekly route to Dalaman making TUI the exclusive operator to Turkey from this airport.
