"Flights with TUI take off from all the major airports, including London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester. We also fly from regional airports like Bournemouth, Exeter, Leeds, Newcastle and Norwich."

That's taken from the TUI flights homepage, how can they seriously not include a Scottish Airport in that list??
To be fair, it's only a selection quoted. Birmingham, East Midlands, Cardiff, and Bristol could just as easily have been mentioned. However, their GLA operation is way behind the pre-merger state, when Britannia and Air 2000 both had two based B757s, and visiting 767s.

But still they are a UK airline, if they wanted to list 4 regional airports they really should have mentioned 1 in each part of the UK they serve.

My money is on a major base review.....watch this space.

I would reckon by the tail end of winter. By that time cabin crew recruitment and training will be almost complete. I’m not saying TUI won’t operate from Scotland... just that there may not be any Scottish bases; or if so like half a week as it was in the 1970s!

I know it's a long way away, but TUI really ramping up their Christmas 2022 flights from Glasgow to Finland .

November has 1 flight to Kittila
December has 8 flights to Kittila

This is a noticeable increase from pre-pandemic flights to Rovaniemi.
