The travel giant, which revealed its full-year results on Wednesday morning (8 December), said there was an “encouraging” current pipeline of 4.1 million bookings across the winter 2021/22 and summer 2022 seasons, with 1.4 million bookings taken since 3 October
But Tui added: “The increased media coverage of rising incident rates and the emergence of new Omicron variant has weakened this positive momentum, particularly for winter.”
Despite Omicron, the operator said trading “continues to be in line” with Tui’s winter capacity plans, which are currently between 60% and 80% of pre-Covid levels.
