☀️ TUI’s new Boeing 737-8 ‘Fuerteventura’ takes flight ✈️

We’re happy to announce that our new Boeing 737-8, named ‘Fuerteventura’, has taken to the skies as the flying ambassador for the Canary Islands’ watersports paradise. 🏄♂️

The Counselor for Tourism and Employment of the Canary Islands Government, Jessica De León Verdugo, was the godmother of the naming ceremony. TUI was represented by Sebastian Ebel, Chairman of the Executive Board, Thomas Ellerbeck, Member of the Group Executive Committee, Marco Ciomperlik, Chief Executive Officer of TUI Airline, and Michael Garvens, Managing Director of TUI fly.

With almost 3 million TUI guests visiting the Canary Islands annually, and 500 weekly return flights, Fuerteventura remains our top winter destination for German travellers. This new addition symbolizes our guests’ love for sun, beach, and unique nature all year round. 🌞🌊

Here’s to more sustainable travel with one of the most modern and CO₂ efficient jets in the sky. 🌍

Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Supervisory Board: "The tourism sector is healthy and continues to grow faster than the overall economy even after the pandemic. Travel is and will remain a global megatrend for the foreseeable future. The team around Sebastian Ebel is ideally positioned to lead TUI to further profitable growth.
