Tui has scaled down its airline's capacity during the Covid crisis

Tui resumed flights from Gatwick and Manchester to Ibiza and Majorca, and from Birmingham to Majorca.

Gatwick to Ibiza was 95% full with 179 passengers; Gatwick to Majorca was 99% full with 297 passengers; Manchester to Majorca 95% full with 180 passengers; Manchester to Ibiza was full, with 346 passengers; and Birmingham to Majorca was 85% full with 161 passengers. 

“The early flights through July are really well sold,” said Andrew Flintham, Tui UK and Ireland managing director, speaking to TTG in Ibiza. 

“We’ve got a benefit of having other markets [such as Germany] that were flying earlier, and what they saw was a very late booking pattern.
