TUIfly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TUIfly is the alliance that links the 8 airlines of TUI Airlines, the largest leisure fleet in Europe and fifth largest European air carrier with more than 100 aircraft. It is a subsidiary of the TUI Group, the largest tourism group in Europe. They operate scheduled flights as well as charter flights to more than 150 destinations worldwide departing from more than 60 airports in 9 European countries.

The name and the actual alliance were created in November 2005 to carry out the new marketing strategy of the TUI Group. They wanted to organize the activities of all member airlines under the same name. As a result all member airlines were rebranded with the name best known in their local market or the name of the principal tour operator for which they operated flights. All member airlines, with the exception of HLX.com, acquired the suffix "-fly" and had their aircraft repainted in the light blue TUI colours with red TUI logo.

TUIfly carries millions of vacation travelers and business passengers every year. In 2004 they had a passenger volume of 23 million and employed more than 7400 people.
