Holiday giant TUI has issued a message to its guests and customers relating to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The group said: “The safety of our customers is our highest priority and we are working closely with our partner airlines and the relevant authorities to organise return travel as quickly and smoothly as possible.
“The first repatriation flights operated by Gulf carriers, including Emirates, are expected to depart as early as today. Further decisions on the resumption of additional flight connections are currently being co-ordinated.
“At the same time, we are fully prepared to operate special flights with our own TUI aircraft to support our guests’ return, even though we do not usually operate in this region. This would require the necessary governmental approvals and coordination, and therefore a specific start date has not yet been confirmed.
“We will continue to keep our guests updated as soon as further information becomes available.”
