Leeds Bradford: TUI Airways Flights, New Routes & Schedule Updates

[752]

From sources the Turkish flights are currently down as Freebird. be good to see some airbus birds back. Smart Lynx have been an operational nightmare for U2/TUI/Jet2 this year. (TUI using a smart lynx out of DSA) Id be surprised if we see Jet2 using them again next year. Time will tell.

I am sure I read somewhere that some (can’t remember how many) B738s were to leave the TUI fleet this winter. That could also explain some reshuffling. Equally knowing me I could have misread that!

Well they do MAXs on order so probably with them unless another part of the group has claimed them.

Which is likely.

Guess only time will tell.

From TUIs point of view the aircraft may make more money in the EU than in the UK looking at where the UK economy is going.

Looking at the LBA winter 2022/23 ACL slot report it would seem TUI are booked into operate a Lapland charter flight to Enontekio in mid December..


Could this be a flight moved from Donny? Up until now I've not seen this one advertised by TUI for Leeds.

Probably as they wouldn’t want to disappoint their young customers now!

TUI Airways are now showing as the operator on the Tuesday Palma’s next Summer.

TUI seem to be releasing S24 and a very quick first glance suggests nothing different to S23 - all W's or away based a/c. Plenty of time for things to change though because after all this is TUI and LBA we are talking about

There’s currently no Antalya or Dalaman on sale for 2024

Or it could be we are going to get a base again and looking at finalising that schedule. Would need time changes on CFU, DBV and PMI though. That said, wouldn't surprise me too see just the token TUI presence once again. Sure I read somewhere that AYT had been dropped from MME. Plus Turkey going through a boom just now. Time definitely going to tell here

I hope so.

 

[Easy289]

AYT just announced from MME

 

[LBAYORKIE]

I hope so.

When it comes to Tui I'm sceptical. If DSA stay a open they'll be off for the 24 season.

 

[Finger66]

Will they wait as long as that I wonder. The have increased EMA quite significantly for S23 so that is probably too soon but yes agree they may be the first ones to jump on any potential new DSA bandwagon. But that is something that could then majorly backfire on them for all the reasons covered in the DSA closure thread. We all know TUI are a law unto themselves so nothing at all would surprise me where they are concerned

 

[White Heather]

It's hard to see any base by TUi at LBA unless LBA successfully seeks planning consent to change its night hours again, because LBA have already said that they will be at maximum night movements next summer just with Jet2, Ryanair and KLM. There's no scope for more as things stand, and a TUi base would bring about up to 2 additional night movements per aircraft.

 

[752]

AYT only Turkish route for MME currently and DLM only Turkish route for S24 currently. Hopefully we will get more added.

Just to clarify, for a non techy like me, do the number of night movements you say LBA are expecting include the newer, quieter aircraft expected to be switched in , particularly for Jet2, or some existing types or is that too early to know for sure.
