Tuifly prepares “Corona comeback”

It will be compulsory to wear face and nose masks on board Tuifly. We are currently working intensively on the creation of a flight plan for the restart.

After the forced Corona break, holiday airline Tuifly wants to resume flight operations as soon as possible. They are currently working on a concept for the restart, an airline spokesperson told Aviation.Direct: "This includes drawing up a flight plan and having the aircraft ready for use." Tuifly also wants to introduce a requirement to wear a mouth and nose mask: "Only those who wear one can fly." Tuifly flies to holiday destinations in Europe with 34 Boeing 737 medium-haul jets.

The airline, which is part of Europe's largest travel group, is closely monitoring developments in the Mediterranean countries. "As we operate as a tour operator, we cannot fly until travel warnings have been lifted." Spain's tourism minister announced at the start of the week that foreigners would be able to vacation in the country again from July - without the obligation to self-quarantine for two weeks. It has not yet been decided when the global travel warning issued by the Federal Foreign Office will be lifted.

Long-distance start in winter still targeted
Tuifly is also closely monitoring developments on another topic: the airline actually wants to get back into long-haul business from next winter. To do this, it is initially stationing two Boeing 787 "Dreamliners" at Düsseldorf Airport and has recently reserved growth options for additional jets. However, whether the deadline can be met depends primarily on when and which destinations can be flown to again in intercontinental traffic.
