TUI Airways

[Marko1]

Looking at the summer schedule , Tuesday mornings only see 4 737s being used , 5 in the afternoons. Is this intentional ?

It looks like cancun may become a winter destination too during November , feb and March . Nothing on sale but one to watch ( thurs and sat )

I could swear I read somewhere that Cancun was back from the 28th March, but looking at the TUI booking engine it’s suggests 18th April, then Orlando Melbourne not until 4th May.

I thought also that the Orlando (now to be to Melbourne instead of the previous Sanford)) was going to avoid the June-July break that was in place for a number of years pre-pandemic but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The last outbounds are on Sat 4 June and Wed 15 June with the last inbounds arriving on Sunday 19 June and Thursday 30 June. The service resumes in July with the first Saturday departure on 16 July and the first Wednesday departure on the 20 July. Thereafter the service returns to its early season pattern of weekly Wednesday and Saturday departures.

The presumed reason for the break has always been the earlier Scottish school holidays and it seems that is the case this year. During that period Glasgow has additional flights to Melbourne and there is a very short season from Edinburgh in June and July which does not operate a TUI route to Melbourne at other times. The Doncaster-Sheffield route to Melbourne (1 x weekly) seems similarly axed during this period.

The June/July Melbourne break is also shown for summer 2023. The BRS routes to Cancun and Florida are only operating overall between early May and late October in summer 2023 as this summer albeit Cancun begins in mid-April this year.

Cancun remains at 2 x weekly (Monday and Friday) throughout this summer season.

The first CUN is indeed next Monday. Unfortunately there are no holidays on sale as it’s full.

New route for Tui ( a reintroduction ) - Toulouse for winter 22/23

TUI used to do Toulouse as a ski route in season. easyJet seems to have reduced slightly on TLS this summer to 6 x weekly with 4 x weekly next winter.

Timings for the New/reintroduced Toulouse route. Starts 20th December with a weekly Tuesday rotation.

Anyone know why yesterday's Cancun diverted to Shannon?

Anyone know why yesterday's Cancun diverted to Shannon?

Could it be for refuelling perhaps?

 

[Aviador]

Historically Shannon was used as a refuelling stopping point. I don't know if this is something TUI do these days with their Dreamliners.

On previous occasions they went to Manchester and i believe East Midlands if they needed extra fuel, i'd personally be surprised if it was a fuel related diversion.

 

[Steveyarde]

It was a fuel stop they could not take a full load on as the runway was to wet, I was up at the airport listen to the atc

Interesting as previously they've used Manchester and East Midlands.

 

[A400]

As I suspected

 

[andrewgreen]

It was apparently a medical emergency

I think there was two TUI “diversions” into SNN that day, one from Bristol for fuel and the other was a medical diversion from LGW I believe

Must be cost related. At a guess there must be a tax saving at least in SNN.

I don't think Manchester is currently in any position to accept extra diversions, even if it's just for fuel. EMA may well be the same.
If the Ground Handlers, Airport Operations and even fuellers are struggling for staff, the aircraft could get further delayed.

First direct flight from Bristol to the USA in years begins

On board the Dreamliner...
