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, with the remaining variants unspecified as of June 2017. ==Destinations==
