 First Choice Airways - Part of a well established brand name
The dedicated charter airline of parent company TUI Travel plc, First Choice Airways was originally established in 1987 under the name Air 2000 and from modest beginnings became one of the most successful charter airlines operating in the UK within a few short years. First Choice Holidays, later to be integrated into TUI with Thomson holidays, saw the airline's potential and acquired Air 2000 with an eventual re-branding exercise taking place in 2004, named First Choice Airways. It operates primarily as the carrier for TUI holidays and as a provider for a host of other UK tour operators.
First Choice Airways - Route network and fleet size
Its main bases are at Manchester and London Gatwick, whilst it also serves Exeter, Glasgow, East Midlands, Bristol and Leeds Bradford. First Choice Airways fly to a wide range of ski, sunshine and city break destinations in Europe which include Palma de Mallorca, Larnaca, Geneva, Las Palmas, Grenoble, Faro, Corfu and several routes in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Caribbean. The First Choice Airways fleet consists of 27 aircraft, which are made up of Airbus A320-200's, Boeing 757-200's and 767-300ER's with a total of six planes flying long haul routes.
