Registered as TUI Airways Limited.
Verified 30 July 2026
TUI Airways is the UK and Ireland leisure airline of TUI Group, flying Boeing 737 and 787 aircraft on holiday routes from UK bases. It recruits type-rated and non-type-rated first officers directly, alongside cadet and MPL routes run across the wider TUI Group AOCs.
Applications are made on TUI Airways's own site. SkyStudy never collects an application, a document or a fee.
What the operator asks for
Only what TUI Airways states publicly. "Not stated" means the operator does not publish that figure, not that there is no requirement, and never that the requirement is zero.
Any age, nationality, residency, height or vision criterion above is the operator's own stated criterion, quoted from its own page. Some such criteria are lawful where an operator recruits and unlawful elsewhere, including in the EU. SkyStudy reports them factually and does not adopt them as requirements of its own.
Every published profile is checked by hand against the operator's own careers page, and is flagged for a recheck 180 days after that check. Requirements change without notice, so confirm every figure on the operator's own careers page before you apply.
Contract type: Not stated. Do not assume direct employment; some operators contract through an agency or on a self-employed basis, which changes tax, sick pay and pension entirely.
Pay: Not stated on the operator's own page.
For what pilots earn by region and seat, with its own sources and dates, see the pilot salary guide. Those are market ranges, not an offer from this operator.
Simulator assessment: A simulator assessment stage is part of the process; no further detail on the exercise is stated.
