Cook’s failure on Monday (23 September) came just a week before Tui’s full-year trading period (1 October 2018 to 30 September 2019).
In a trading update issued on Tuesday morning (24 September), Tui said while summer 2019 was “closing out in line with expectations”, it remained a challenging market environment in which to operate.
The operator cites the ongoing grounding of the Boeing 737 Max, airline overcapacity and the continued uncertainty around Brexit.
