Livery of Tui

Back in the early years I first saw a Tui colour from Britannia Airways G-BYAL Boeing 757-200 in August 2004. Britannia Airways was introduced in Tui colours in 2002 & 2003 however in 1st November 2005 Britannia Airways was cased and re-branded to Thomsonfly. Back in the day I was too young to know what livery of Britannia Airways was coming to Malta I was more into the old colour not Tui. I did travel with Britannia Airways in February 2004 but in Tui colour on Boeing 757-200. Brittania had full white with Thomson logo or blue background with Thomson.co.uk I never seen it because I was young and wen't to school in UK.
When my holiday was finish in Malta February 2004 back in London Gatwick Britannia Airways did had a mixture of Tui logo on tail, Brittania or Thomson.co.uk title and Brittania's purpble stripes on Boeing 767-300 however when I wen't back to Malta in 2005 I came across G-BYAL my first Boeing 767 photo nothing too important the only different is they added Thomsonfly.com on many Thomson planes. 

I have already done a blog about the new generation of Thomson livery but I'll write this on last time. In 2008 Thomson re-branded the company from Thomsonfly-Thomson Airways in November 2008. The livery did not change that much just "Thomson" they added on there but however...


I came across this G-TAWN Boeing 737-800 seen in Malta April this yeae it was brought to Thomson Airways early this year. It's the new Boeing Dreamliner livery only on Boeing 737-800, Boeing 757-200, Boeing 767-300 & Boeing 787 Dreamliner I will seeing it soon. I like the new livery much better than plain blue back in early 2000's well strange thing is Jetairfly OO-JEB is in Dreamliner livery it's not Boeing it's Embraer ERJ-190.   



OK I now said about British airline Thomson let's talk about other Tui operators I seen in the past. Jetair OO-TUA is a Boeing 737-400 new to Hapag-Lloyd in 1989 ex D-AHLL operating by Tui Airlines Belgium. Tui Airlines Belgium was founded in 2003 until 23rd November 2005 it was ceased & re-branded to Jetairfly. This is my latest photo OO-TUA was seen in Malta August 2004 I haven't seen Jetairfly since I been busy with school & college back then.


Another Tui company came to Malta was Tuifly D-AHFY new to Hapag-Lloyd in 2001. This is my latest photo, the strange thing about this plane is the colour is yellow I'm not complaining about it but since the colour is yellow sometimes it makes me sick... Other than his yellow livery Tuifly introduced special livery in Haribo colour when I come across seeing one in the future I will make a new blog.

 
There are few more Tui operators but remember if I can't spot one I can't make a new blog it doesn't matter anyway I like to focus on my photos I have in my collection.
