Following news yesterday (13 February 2023) that Jet2Holidays is now the UK’s largest tour operator, TUI’s chief executive, Sebastian Ebel, has pledged to reclaim TUI’s position at top of the UK Market.
TUI was overtaken by Jet2Holidays as the biggest Atol-holder, with Jet2Holidays increasing its licence to 5.86 million passengers. A figure which is half a million more than TUI.
Speaking in regards to TUI’s latest financial figures, Ebel stated, “We have not benefited as much as Jet2 from the disappearance of Thomas Cook. We do see that as a challenge.”
Ebel further added, “We are very active to gain profitable market share and that is why we have defined a full range of activities,” Ebel said. “We want to be the market leader not just across passenger numbers. We are taking this challenge and want to grow stronger than our dear competitors.”
