@LuxuryTravelled TUI has now followed Jet2 in dropping their ‘Mask mandate’ – for services from England and Northern Ireland.
@MaxK_J Interesting progress for potential resumption of China #737MAX deliveries. @cirium data shows this aircraft is a new Max (rather than from undelivered inventory), having flown on 27 Jan 2022
@rschuur_aero .@DeutschePostDHL orders 6 additional @BoeingAirplanes 777Fs. The express carrier already has 15 of them and the latest orders takes the fleet to 28.
@SPD_travels Manchester will be home to 3 Air Tanker A330 this summer. Jet2 will operate 2 of them, and TUI will use the other one. TUI Sweden will also provide a B787 to TUI UK, also based at Manchester. Thanks to various sources for the heads up.
