TUI Airways

[White Heather]

I'm blowing the Leeds trumpet but arguably Leeds is too big to ignore now. Folk can argue all they like about this hilltop airport with a runway not pointing into the prevailing wind, but one thing is certain which is it pulls in the punters. It's Leeds' catchment area and bums on seats that make money, not long runways facing a particular direction. Sooner or later Tui will have to follow the market forces if it is to regain its Yorkshire market share.

@ChrisBBB please review the posting links section in the help pages. It's located in the dark section at the bottom of the page.

Assuming that DSA doesn't reopen and subsequently become the UKs No 1 base (I think not) then I feel sure you're right and once the terminal is finished and there's room to breathe inside on a busy day, TUi will base here again. How many aircraft is another matter but even one is progress. The relationship between LBA and TUi seemed broken after their defection to DSA and in later years, their axing of the Sunwing base mid contract , but since DSA closed there's been a steady increase in presence here which hopefully continues

 

[Finger66]

No clues yet on the app re new routes but just hope they are not DLM and AYT being operated by TUI in their own right!

If its not a base it will be W patterned so I doubt we will see anything longer. Maybe Tunisia would be a good shout? Id definitely wouldn't be surprised if it was cruise departure points.

Thank you - but I was more meaning could someone point me in the direction of the original article / post on Facebook where the two new routes were being alluded to.

Basically somebody claiming to work for Tui said on a Facebook Group they had heard something.

 

[lbaspotter]

It was a post on one of TUI groups on Facebook from someone who has it on "good Authority" that TUI will be flying 2 new routes from LBA next year.

It was posted anonymously possibly because they work for TUI so have heard something. A base was ruled out though. For now it seems to be a rumour but we shall see if anything comes of it..

Coincidence or not? TUI are to put there Winter 2025/2026 programme on sale next Thursday, July 18th

Could we see Tenerife & Malaga re-added as both routes could easily be operated year round and are current pick up points for TUI Marella Cruises

 

[Aviador]

Sounds plausible.

Was anything announced last Thursday?

 

[Seasider]

I think that had they announced any new routes, someone would have posted it on here.

But did they even make any announcenents at any airports?

Just a quick update on G-TAWG. The process is now at the below stage, the next and final stage is publication.

Consultation stage - when an investigation is largely complete and a confidential draft report has been sent out for formal consultation in accordance with the regulations. The consultation process includes the time taken to consider representations and amend the draft report prior to publication.

It was G- TAWD wasn't it, if you're talking about our runway excursion.

all the TUI aircraft flights with be operated by Birmingham based 737s, except the Sunday Palma, thats a Manchester based 737.

 

[Finger66]

If that was all TUI metal there is enough for a base unit there. Have we the stands though what with the possibility of LM and U2 almost certainly looking like they are going to starting to grace our concrete in a bigger way

[Finger66]

Think it's 1 extra flight in line with Sun Express going up from 3 to 4 a week next year. Every little helps! Other tour operators and supermarkets are available
