TUI Flights Using Titan Airways

BH246

Our TUI holiday flight is also going to be by Titan Airways. As long as it safe and hopefully on time it does no really matter to us what airline is used.

I wouldn’t be happy with a poor airline such as Small Planet.

Is anyone flying Small Planet?

I know Olympic Holidays used them up to a few years ago - we last flew with them in 2016 - but I thought they'd gone bust.

They are bust - since Nov '18 - so no-one flying with them (although planes may still be flying in new ownership under old colours)

That's what I thought, just seemed odd that they were mentioned.

As mentioned it’s probably due to their Max 8s being grounded, nothing to worry about, we’ve flown several times with Thomas Cook on hired aircraft, only difference is the name on the aircraft or it may have no name, cabin crew were always Thomas Cook, we came back from Tunisia once on an Aurela Air 757-200 and the couple sat behind us were moaning because the aircraft should’ve been a TC Airbus A321, I means seriously, a short haul flight what does it matter?

That particular operator had a slightly embarrassing incident whilst operating for Monarch a few years back Birmingham Airport plane skids of runway

Actually, in some "wet leases", the crew may be wearing Thomas Cook/TUI uniforms but they will be from the same company who provided the uniform.

As others have said it's nothing to worry about. All airlines do it to provide extra capacity.

Tui have changed our flights to Ibiza in June to Olympus Airlines. We aren’t bothered to be honest as there’s nothing special about Tui planes. There’s people on Trip Advisor who have actually cancelled their holidays due to the change of airline and moaned that they have lost all their money! Ridiculous.

Can you post a link to this? I need a laugh today.
