About TUI
TUI Airways, formerly Thomson Airways and often referred to as TUI UK, is the world's largest charter airline, offering scheduled and charter flights from the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland to destinations in Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. The airline carried 10.9 million passengers in 2016, making it the third-largest UK airline by total passengers, after EasyJet and British Airways. The registered office is at the TUI Travel House in Crawley, West Sussex but its head office is located in Wigmore House in Luton, Bedfordshire. TUI Airways Limited holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Type A Operating Licence permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.
The airline was formed following the merger of the travel division of TUI AG and First Choice Holidays plc in September 2007 to form TUI Travel. The two companies' respective airlines, Thomsonfly and First Choice Airways, were merged under the former's Air Operator's Certificate in May 2008 and were rebranded as Thomson Airways on 1 November 2008. TUI Travel merged with TUI AG to form TUI Group in December 2014. TUI Airways officially changed its legal name from Thomson Airways to TUI Airways on 2 October 2017.[9] This was in line with sister companies TUI fly Belgium, TUI fly Deutschland, TUI fly Netherlands and TUI fly Nordic. All airlines in the group, excluding Corsair International, are now rebranded to TUI.

TUI seeks new future for German airline TUIfly.
TUI seeks new future for German airline TUIfly. TUIfly remains on a turbulent flight path and is again facing an uncertain future just two months after talks over a possible merger with Air Berlin’s leisure airline Niki broke down. That deal would have combined TUIfly’s 42 jets (including the 14 wet-leased to Air Berlin) with 17 Niki-operated planes to create a major European leisure airline, with TUI only holding a minority stake.
Afterwards TUI said its German airline would operate as a standalone carrier in future but remained open for partnerships. But the insolvency of Air Berlin has now changed the picture once again. The most pressing issue for TUI is what happens to the 14 B737 planes that it has wet-leased to Air Berlin under a lucrative 10-year contract (expiring in 2019) and which are currently flying under Niki colours.
