New name for TUI UK airlines

Posted on 17 June 2008 by Airline News

The Thomsonfly (formerly Britannia) and First Choice Airways (formerly Air 2000) brands are to be dropped in favour of a new brand : Thomson Airways.

Changes will be phased in, with the re-branding work on the fleet expected to be completed over the next two years. Thomsonfly and First Choice Airways have been operating under one Civil Aviation Authority Air Operator’s Certificate since May 1. Pilots from both airlines are now flying together and more integration work will continue over the coming months.

In Germany, TUI Travels airline TUIfly (formerly HLX and Hapag Lloyd) might be merged with Lufthansa baby Germanwings. Talks are ongoing on that and a letter of intent has been signed. More news is expected shortly.
