Tui stands by Boeing 737 Max — with safeguards
Tui will keep faith with the Boeing 737 Max aircraft — if they are approved as safe, said its CE. Friedrich Joussen, who has headed the group since 2013, said Tui plans to add 2m more airline seats next summer to cater for extra demand following the collapse of major rival Thomas Cook this year. He said that the aircraft would be the 737 Max model 8: “If they are approved to be safe we would fly them. It will be potentially the most checked aircraft,” he said. Tui was the UK’s biggest operator of 737 Max with 15 in its fleet and a total of 72 ordered from Boeing. In March it said the grounding would cause a E300m hit to earnings in the year to the end of September 2019. The travel company has yet to provide guidance on the impact for next year as it said that it will depend on when the aircraft is declared fit to fly. <br/>
