TUI will fly from just four UK airports from May 17th amid 'traffic light' rules

TUI is set to resume some flights and holidays from May 17th in line with the UK Government guidelines, however, as a result of their new "traffic light" system, the world largest tour operator has made the decision to only depart from four UK airports.

This means that all holidays between May 17th and May 27th which do not depart from London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham or Bristol are now cancelled.

In its latest update, TUI explained: "We’re sorry to say the following holidays will not be operating. All TUI holidays departing from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, including flight-only and accommodation-only bookings, due to depart on or before May 16th 2021.”

"All TUI holidays, including flight-only bookings, departing from any UK airport EXCEPT London Gatwick, Manchester Birmingham and Bristol due to depart on or before May 27th 2021."

An announcement is expected by the UK Government later this week regarding international travel from May 17^th, on how it will work and which countries are on their green list.
