Booking momentum has so far been "largely unaffected" by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Tui has said, with the group predicting summer 2022 could rival that of 2019.

The group on Wednesday (30 March) revealed bookings for summer 2022 were at 80% of summer 2019 levels. This is up from the 72% reported during its first-quarter trading update on 8 February.


It said the UK market was the most buoyant at this time, with bookings up 14% on summer 2019 levels.


The firm’s latest trading figures came as Tui confirmed it was poised to start repaying some of the financial support it received from the German state and the country’s banking sector to weather the effects of the pandemic.
