Move to Dreamliners from 737s comes after firm’s bookings rise 182% since country placed on UK green list
Europe’s largest travel company, TUI, said bookings to Portugal had “skyrocketed” by 182% since it was placed on the UK’s green list last Friday, allowing travel without quarantine.
The chief executive, Fritz Joussen, said TUI would deploy the bigger Dreamliner planes rather than 737s to Portugal to try to meet demand for seats from England’s only green-listed mainstream holiday destination.
