G-TAWB 3 Boeing 737-8K5SW TUI Airways UK (Sunwing Canada hybrid livery) MAN 09JUL21
Replacing an earlier digital photo with a better version 09-Jul-21.
TUI Airways UK, still in a hybrid TUI / Sunwing livery since it returned to the UK after lease in Mar-20.
This aircraft was delivered to the TUI Group Plc and leased to Thomson Airways as G-TAWB in Feb-12. It was fitted with 'Split Scimitar' winglets in Nov-14.
In Dec-15 it was sub-leased to Sunwing Airlines (Canada) for the winter season as C-GWVB and returned to Thomson as G-TAWB in Apr-16. Thomson titles were replaced with billboard TUI titles in Jan-17 ahead of the transition to TUI Airlines UK at the end of Oct-17.
The aircraft was sub-leased to Sunwing Airlines again, as C-GWVB, between Nov-17/Apr-18 and again between Dec-19/Mar-20. It was returned as G-TAWB one month early due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and stored at Birmingham, UK, still in the hybrid TUI/Sunwing livery. The aircraft returned to service in mid Jul-20 but was again stored, this time at East Midlands, UK in early Jan-21 after the UK had gone into a second COVID lockdown. It returned to service in late May-21, still in basic TUI livery with Sunwing titles and orange tail. Current, updated 11-Jun-21.
