TUIfly flies the flag for climate protection
Help us protect the climate

TUIfly and myclimate.de
We wish to enable our customers to compensate for the CO2 emissions caused by their flight. We have consequently joined forces with a reputable and independent partner with expertise in climate protection: myclimate.
This Swiss-based international organisation is one of the leading providers of compensation services.
myclimate supports projects which lead to a direct reduction in greenhouse gases and thus enables specific climate protection. The projects are effective in that they substitute renewable energies for fossil fuels or are aimed at making more efficient use of energy.
myclimate projects have to satisfy strict project standards. In addition to reducing greenhouse gases, for example, they also have to make a verifiable positive contribution to sustainable development and be both ecologically as well as socially compatible.

TUIfly customers support Madagaskar
The climate protection project "Solar and efficient stoves in Southwest Madagascar", registered by myclimate for Gold Standard validation, supports the local production, distribution and use of solar cookers and efficient stoves in south west Madagascar (Tuléar province). This can substantially reduce the consumption of wood and charcoal for cooking purposes. Because a significant portion of the fuel wood used in the region comes from unsustainable sources, i.e. leads to deforestation, the project can reduce CO2 emissions. Moreover, the project lessens the pressure on the indigenous forest.
 
The project is also part of development assistance. Buying expensive charcoal and the tedious collection of firewood will become less common and the local population will be less affected by the dangerous smoke particles that are generated when wood and charcoal are burned in an open environment. ADES, a Swiss development organisation, initiated the production of solar cookers in local workshops. This promotes work in the industrial trades and also generates a way to earn money locally. At the same time, it stops the rapidly increasing deforestation which has negatively impacted the climate.

In recent months, there has been heated debate about air travel in connection with greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing greenhouse gases – like the entire topic of climate protection – is a global challenge. To read more about the subject of “Environment” please visit tui-umwelt.de or click here.

At the beginning of September 2009, the Federal Cartel Office approved the takeover of the TUIfly city routes by Air Berlin. Starting with the winter schedule for 2009/10 (valid as of 25 October 2009), the commercial responsibility for TUIfly city routes was transferred to Air Berlin. This applies to all domestic German connections and, in particular, routes to Italy and Austria. The TUI tourist routes (e.g. the Balearic and Canary Islands, Turkey) will continue to be marketed with the TUIfly brand.

TUIfly

Since the summer of 2007, Hapagfly and Hapag-Lloyd Express (HLX) have been flying routes in common under the new TUIfly brand. TUI AG, the world's largest tour company, holds a majority of shares in TUI Travel PLC, London, to which the airline belongs. By the summer of 2009, TUIfly was serving a route network of 74 destinations in 16 countries. These included both attractive urban destinations as well as classic holiday regions all around the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands and Egypt. A fleet of 44 modern Boeing 737 aircraft departs from fifteen German airports. TUIfly offers high quality for a fair price.

Hapagfly

Since it was founded in 1972, Hapag-Lloyd Flug (an airline company) has become one of the leading German holiday destination flight companies. In terms of service, reliability and safety, Hapag-Lloyd Flug (later Hapagfly) continues to set benchmarks. In 2006, the airline transported around 6.7 million passengers. In the summer of 2006, the Hapagfly fleet consisted of 33 Boeing 737-700 and 737-800 aircraft.

HLX

On 3 December 2002, the first Boeing 737 took off for Hapag-Lloyd Express (HLX), TUI AG's low cost airline. Within just four years, the fleet grew from four to a total of eighteen Boeing 737 aircraft flying a route network including 39 destinations in eleven countries. In 2006 alone, HLX transported around 4.4 million passengers. With its distinct design, similar to that of New York taxis, and the slogan "Fly at taxi fare prices", the airline made its mark in the European low cost flight market.
