TUI Airways

[Matt kenshole]

Presumably freebird will be on the Dalaman route and a extra non based aircraft on a Friday?

 

[737 400]

This is what TUI have down for Exeter for Summer 2021. Obviously this could change. Week from August 2021 sampled.
Monday
06.00 Menorca
13.10 Zante
Tuesday
06.50 Palma de Mallorca
14.05 Heraklion
Wednesday
06.30 Palma de Mallorca
13.55 Rhodes
Thursday
06.55 Zante
??????????
19.55 Dalaman (non based carrier)
Friday
06.00 Menorca
12.40 Corfu
21.50 Palma de Mallorca
Saturday
06.25 Palma de Mallorca
13.20 Paphos
Sunday
06.05 Lanzarote
?????????????
19.55 Dalaman (non based carrier)

According to the TUI website at time of posting for summer 2021, the EXT-Dalaman rotation on Thursdays is now shown as being covered by the TUI Exeter based B737, departing EXT at 16.10 and arriving back into EXT at 02.00 on the Friday morning. The Sunday rotation to Dalaman is still shown as covered by 'another carrier,' with the Exeter based B737 not shown as doing anything after arriving back from Lanzarote into EXT at 14.35. Presumably there is another rotation from EXT on summer Sunday afternoons yet to be added onto the TUI website. Larnaca would seem a likely bet for a Sunday afternoon departure from EXT as per previous summers, but who knows....

Matt, the EXT based TUI B737 normally works all three departures on a summer Friday. The Mallorca flight doesn't depart EXT until 21.50 hrs on the Friday evening and usually arrives back into EXT at about 03.30 hrs on the Saturday morning.

A rare sight of a B757-200 at EXT today:

TUI Airways B752 (G-OOBP) positioned empty from MAN to TFS this afternoon. It then operated to EXT arriving at around 22:15 before continuing to LGW.

This route should have started in 2020 but didn’t.

I am not sure how they plan to start it in a few weeks time when Turkey is going on the red list from Wednesday?

I think if loads stay strong Ryanair could snap
Up the Lanzarote and Tenerife routes through the summer months!

Ryanair are struggling to operate the routes that they already have, due to late delivery of B737-MAX's. Some routes are even seeing cuts.
