Jetairfly is a Belgian airline with its administrative headquarters in Ostend,
Belgium and its centre of flight operations at Brussels Airport, Belgium.
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
six other airlines which are linked together by the TUI Airlines alliance,
which is part of TUI Group, one of the largest tourism groups in the world. TUI
Airlines incorporates Jetairfly, TUI Airlines Netherlands, Corsair
International, TUIfly, Thomson Airways and TUIfly Nordic, with a combined fleet
of more than 150 aircraft. 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 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.
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. 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. In the beginning of 2013, Jetairfly was
the first leisure airline worldwide to introduce the Embraer E-Jet 190 in its
fleet. In the autumn of 2013, the new office building and maintenance hangar
"Jetairport" was inaugurated at Brussels Airport. In December 2013, Jetairfly was
the first and only Belgian airline to introduce the brand new Boeing 787-8
"Dreamliner". On 14 November 2014 Jetairfly sealed a
wet-lease deal to provide up to four aircraft with crew to operate on behalf
of ECAir, the flag carrier of the Republic of the Congo, from mid 2015 on.
In 2015 it was the first and only Belgian airline with an ISO 14001
certification for their focus on sustainability and the smallest
ecological footprint. On 13 May 2015, it was announced by the
TUI Group that all five of TUI's airline subsidiaries will be named TUI, whilst
keeping their separate Air Operator's Certificate, taking over three years to
complete. Jetairfly's name is scheduled to be changed during 2016.
