TUI boosts summer 2027 flying programme with 17 million seats

TUI Airline has unveiled its summer 2027 flying programme, adding 25 new routes and lifting capacity to 17 million seats across 84,000 flights. The schedule is 4.6% larger than in summer 2026 and includes about 640,000 extra seats across the UK, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

London Gatwick is the biggest growth base, with eight additional routes and service to 59 destinations. New long-haul and leisure links include Düsseldorf to Curaçao and Amsterdam to Kilimanjaro, while other additions cover destinations such as Santiago de Compostela, Seville, Valencia, Málaga, Ljubljana, Naples, Venice and Olbia.

Around one-third of the network has been reshaped to concentrate capacity on stronger-growth markets, and the 2027 schedule is the first developed under TUI’s new commercial framework. The expansion further tilts the airline towards higher-demand leisure routes as it broadens its footprint heading into next summer.
