TUIfly Nordic AB (formerly Blue Scandinavia AB and Britannia Nordic AB) is a charter airline headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a part of the TUI Group. It operates short, medium and long-haul flights to leisure destinations from several airports in the Nordic countries, on behalf of the tour operators TUI Danmark (Denmark), TUI Suomi (Finland), TUI Norge (Norway) and TUI Sverige (Sweden). In 2016, the airline carried approximately 1,500,000 passengers.
History The airline was originally formed in 1985 as Transwede Airways operating both charter and scheduled flights to destinations around Europe. In 1996, the charter part of the airline was taken over by the Swedish tour operator Fritidsresor and was renamed Blue Scandinavia. Following the acquisition of Fritidsresor by Thomson in 1998, the airline was renamed Britannia Nordic. After Preussag (TUI) acquired the Thomson Group in 2000, the airline was renamed TUI fly Nordic in 2005.
In 2015, the TUI Group announced that all five of its airline subsidiaries would be renamed TUI Airlines, whilst retaining their separate Air Operators Certificates, taking about three years to complete. As of 2017, most aircraft had been repainted and rebranded with the new "Dynamic Wave" livery and name.
TUI Group has 70 737 MAX aircraft on order for the group. The order consists of 28 MAX 10 aircraft,PARIS: Leisure group TUI converts 18 orders to 737 Max 10 with the remaining variants unspecified as of June 2017. These will be used for both replacement of older aircraft and further expansion. TUI fly Nordic was scheduled to receive its first of five Boeing 737 MAX 8 in February 2018.
