TUI Airlines Netherlands: The Flight That Comes with the Holiday Package

History and positioning

Integrated into TUI's tourism supply chain, the airline was created to give the group direct control over the air transport of its own customers, instead of relying on third-party carriers for the holiday catalog's flagship destinations.

The fleet

It operates Boeing 737-800s, a standard choice for leisure charter operations on medium-haul routes to the beach destinations most in demand in the Dutch market.

Routes and network

Routes reach the Canary Islands, the eastern and western Mediterranean and, on longer range, Cape Verde and Caribbean destinations, in effect following the TUI group's holiday destination catalog more than a traditional point-to-point network logic.

On board and service

The onboard product is designed for leisure charter flying, with a meal included on many long-haul routes and a seat pitch in line with the standards of the holiday segment, rather than those of a traditional scheduled carrier.

It is the natural choice for anyone who has already booked a TUI holiday package and wants the matching flight included. It is less suitable for anyone seeking regular frequencies on business routes, a segment the airline does not serve. A practical tip: if you buy only the flight, without the TUI package, check the included baggage separately, because seat-only fares often do not replicate the generous allowance reserved for those who book the full package.
