Tui Group saw losses in the final three months of 2020 soar but remains upbeat for summer 2021.

 

Tui UK's parent company has a substantial investment from oligarch Alexey Mordashov

The group recorded an adjusted loss before tax of €698.6 million between 1 October and 31 December, compared to a deficit of €146.7 million in the same quarter in 2019. Revenue plummeted from €3.85 billion to €468.1 million.

However, the operator said demand for summer 2021 was “strong” despite “major uncertainties".

Tui said it had 2.8 million bookings at an average price premium of 20% compared to summer 2019. Its planned 2021 capacity is “still 80% of summer 2019”.

During the period, Tui agreed a third Corona financing package together with shareholders, banks and the Economic Stabilisation Fund.
