TUI Airways Limited[4] (formerly Thomson Airways) is the British arm of the TUI Airline group, which is owned and operated by the TUI Group. They offer scheduled and charter flights from the United Kingdom and Ireland to destinations in Europe, Africa, Asia and North America.

The airline is the fourth-largest UK airline by total passengers carried, after EasyJet, British Airways and Jet2.com. It is also the world's tenth-largest airline by number of route pairings served.[5] TUI Airways holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Type A Operating Licence permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats. Its head office and Registered Office is Wigmore House in Luton, Bedfordshire.

For the 2023/2024 summer season, TUI Airways did not operate out of Dublin Airport, Cork Airport and Shannon Airport; the flights will instead be operated by TUI fly Nordic.[citation needed]
