The new aircraft will increase services to the likes of Crete, Cyprus and Spain

The extra Boeing 737-800 aircraft will allow Tui to double summer seat capacity to 195,000 with an increase to 27 flights a week to Mediterranean favourites like Crete, Cyprus and Spain’s Balearic and Canary islands. 

The updates include more than 70,000 extra seats to the Balearics, more than 60,000 to Greece, 40,000 to the Canaries and 25,000 to Turkey.

Tui said the expansion would also allow agents to offer their clients a wider range of durations rather than just seven- and 14-night options, including 10- and 11-night holidays.
