- TUI holds 49% of Fly4 Airlines, which petitioned an Irish court for provisional liquidation after further losses.
- Fly4 reported a EUR 1.1 million loss for the first nine months of 2026, following a EUR 4 million loss in 2025.
- The insolvency process grounds Fly4's four Boeing 737-800 aircraft and adds a new risk point for TUI's aviation operations.
TUI stock came into focus on Thursday, November 12, 2026, after Fly4 Airlines Green petitioned the Irish High Court for provisional liquidation on Wednesday. The Irish carrier was established in 2023 through a partnership between TUI Group and Poland's Enter Air, with TUI holding a 49% stake.
Yahoo Finance, republishing a report first published by TheStreet, said the court appointed joint provisional liquidators to oversee the process. The procedure is intended to preserve assets while a winding-up petition is considered under Irish law.
Fuel costs deepen Fly4 losses
Fly4 operated four Boeing 737-800 aircraft under wet-lease arrangements for other airlines rather than selling tickets directly to the public. The planes were leased to carriers in Germany, Belgium and Türkiye, according to the report, and have been grounded during the insolvency process.
Fly4 Chief Financial Officer Douglas Fay told the court that the company lost EUR 1.1 million in the first nine months of 2026. The loss fell materially short of expectations and was attributed to higher fuel costs linked to the U.S.-Iran war. Fly4 had also recorded a loss of about EUR 4 million in 2025.
The latest filing highlights the pressure that fuel expenses can place on smaller aviation partners within the tourism sector. For TUI, the immediate financial effect is not quantified in the report, while the operational exposure is concentrated in a minority investment rather than a wholly owned airline.
TUI's broader travel portfolio remains relevant
TUI Group's investor-relations materials describe a portfolio spanning hotels, cruises, tours and activities. The company reported its third-quarter and nine-month fiscal 2026 results on August 12, while its most recent booking update was published on September 22, according to TUI Group's investor-relations page.
