TUI Travel has committed to purchasing 60 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with the option for a further 90.
Subject to shareholder approval, the new aircraft will be used to replace the travel company’s current fleet from January 2018 to March 2023.
Its new aircraft will be used across short and medium-haul networks for Thomson Airways, TUIfly, TUIfly Nordic, ArkeFly, Jetairfly and Corsair brands which currently consist of 141 aircraft in total.
“This multi-billion pound investment in the B737 MAX – representing the future generation of more fuel-efficient aircraft for our short and medium-haul programmes – will be a further driver in delivering,” said Peter Long, chief executive of TUI.
The company is updating its long-haul fleet with the Boeing 787.
