Jetairfly is a Belgian airline with its headquarters in Ostend, Belgium and its centre of flight operations in Zaventem, Belgium.[1] It operates scheduled passenger flights. Officially known as TUI Airlines Belgium, it adopted its new trading name Jetairfly in November 2005.
Jetairfly is a part of the largest leisure fleet in Europe: together with seven other airlines which are linked together by the virtual alliance TUI Airlines, which is part of TUI Travel PLC, one of the largest tourism groups in the world. TUI Airlines incorporates Jetairfly, Arkefly (The Netherlands), Corsair International (France), TUIfly (Germany), Thomson Airways (United Kingdom) and TUIfly Nordic (Sweden), with a combined fleet of more than 150 aircraft.
Jetairfly has a network of 163 routes to more than 105 airports in the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Caribbean, Canary Islands, Africa and Asia. The airline's home base is Brussels Airport, but flights are also operated from 6 other bases: Brussels South Charleroi Airport, Liege Airport, Ostend-Bruges International Airport, Lille Airport in France, Mohammed V International Airport Casablanca and Marrakesh Menara Airport in Morocco.[2]
History
TUI Airlines Belgium was created in November 2003 as home carrier for tour operator Jetair, part of tourism group TUI AG. The original plans were to operate two aircraft, but after charter company Sobelair (home carrier for Jetair) ceased its operations, Jetairfly started its operations with 5 aircraft.
On 23 November 2005, Jetairfly acquired its current name, as part of the rebranding around Belgium's number 1 tourism brand Jetair.
Since October 2009, the Boeing 767-300ER, were revealed in an updated livery. The name 'Jetairfly' has been removed and replaced with 'operated by TUI Airlines Belgium'.[3] The livery is adapted because both Boeing 767-300ER aircraft are also operating long-haul flights for other tour operators. They are only adapted on the Boeing 767-300ER, not on any of the other fleet.
In January 2012 Jetairfly announced that Jet4you, a low-cost Moroccan carrier and also a subsidiary of the TUI AG Group, would be fully integrated in Jetairfly. The merger was complete in April 2012.[4]
In March 2012 Jetairfly officially became a full scheduled airline, while previously a part of their flights were conducted as charter flights. As a result all flights can be booked in both directions even by non-EU citizens.[5]
Service
On short-and medium haul flights, the airline offers three kinds of services:
- Economy, offering full economy service with catering.
- Buy on board, the cheapest option, offering snacks and drinks for purchase.
- Service Plus/VIP Selection, offering premium meals, free champagne and alcohol, newspapers. At Brussels airport access to the VIP-lounge, separate check-in and security fast lane.[6]
On long-haul flights, the airline offers two kinds of services depending on the type of aircraft:
On Boeing 767:
- Economy Class.
- Comfort class, comparable with Service plus/VIP Selection but offering more service, legroom, amenity kits, iPad IFE,[7] etc.
On Boeing 787:[8]
- Economy en Economy+
- Premium Club
Aircraft is equipped with AVOD for every passenger.
