Europe - TUI Group, one of Europe’s largest leisure travel company, has expressed optimism about Boeing’s progress in stabilizing 737 MAX aircraft deliveries, signaling a turning point after years of disruption and capacity constraints.
- Speaking at the Airlines 2025 event in London on 10 November 2025, TUI Group’s Chief Airline Officer, Marco Ciomperlik, said the company has witnessed “significant improvements” in Boeing’s production performance over the past year.
- TUI expects up to 20 Boeing 737 MAX deliveries between this winter and summer 2026, supporting fleet renewal and modest growth as older 737 NG aircraft are retired.
- The airline group, which operates a unified fleet across TUI fly Belgium, TUI fly Deutschland, TUI fly Netherlands, TUI Airways UK, and TUI fly Nordic, relies heavily on Boeing’s narrowbody models for its pan-European leisure network.
- Ciomperlik indicated that TUI and Boeing have strengthened collaboration to manage production delays more efficiently, with internal alignment improving delivery predictability and maintenance scheduling.
Statements
- “They are on a good path, in fairness. In the past 12 months we have seen significant improvements… they have made real changes in the production line, which we really appreciate,” said Marco Ciomperlik, Chief Airline Officer, TUI Group.
