Hi JB…… been doing abit of routing around and found abit of info on TUI , hope this answers your question from yesterday 🙂 …..
The company was founded in 1923 in Berlin as Preußische Bergwerks und Hütten-Aktiengesellschaft operating in the industrial sector.In 1959 it was first listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and in 1964 became Preussag. In 2000 it acquired Thomson Travel and in 2002 bought Hapag Lloyd, which itself owned the travel firm TUI (formerly Touristik Union International), and renamed itself TUI AG.

I think it means “we have mixed 2 horrible colours that dont belong together as part of our dull thomson colourscheme” in german. :p
Gosh I wish they would repaint. Its one of the only other airlines in LTN other then easy/wizz/ryanair and its so not cool!

Although the abbreviation TUI was mentioned it was never explained as to what it stood for.:confused::)

Pretty awesome in having dug that bit of info out that no mortals were aware of including myself as-well.perhaps you should contact Wikipedia and add your findings as an amendment as I looked there and the abbreviation wasn’t mentioned in it anywhere that I could see.well done and thanks..cheers..:)
