TUI Ireland to move to a Partner Airlines Model for Future Summer Seasons

#Traveltradetogether

New model will come into effect from summer 2026.

Changes at Dublin, Cork and Shannon Airports in a move to offer more flexibility and choice for customers.

TUI’s commitment to operating in Ireland remains unchanged.

TUI Ireland will move to a partner airlines model for future summer seasons, harnessing existing collaborations with its 14 partner airlines. The change will come into effect from summer 2026 and is part of the leading travel and leisure company’s strategy to grow its dynamic offering to give more flexibility and choice to customers alongside the classic core package.

The two Dublin based aircraft – which are managed by a third-party airline supplier and serves flights from Cork and Shannon – will operate as usual until the end of summer 2025. Future winter programmes will continue as planned for customers, serving The Canaries, Lapland and ski breaks with Crystal Ski Holidays.

Craig Morgan, Head of Ireland for TUI said: Our commitment to our programme from Ireland remains steadfast, as do our valued trade partnerships. We have ambitious plans to increase our market share through sustainable, profitable growth strategies.

“This evolution is about enhancing customer choice through partner flying while maintaining our distinctive offerings such as TUI BLUE and Holiday Village, complete with our signature in-resort representatives and round-the-clock service.”

TUI currently offers Irish customers 71 destinations via 14 partner airlines across short, mid and long-haul with plans for this to grow.
