About Thomas Cook Airlines

Thomas Cook Airlines, originally established in 2008 as part of the Thomas Cook Group, was a British charter and scheduled airline headquartered at Manchester Airport. The airline ceased operations in September 2019 following the collapse of its parent company. During its operational years, the airline maintained a modern fleet of Airbus A321 and A330 aircraft, serving primarily leisure destinations across Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.

The airline's main operational bases were at Manchester Airport and London Gatwick Airport, with additional bases at Birmingham, Bristol, and East Midlands airports. At its peak, Thomas Cook Airlines operated a fleet of 34 aircraft, including 27 Airbus A321s and 7 Airbus A330s.

Prior to its closure, the airline received multiple awards for its service quality, including "Best Charter Airline" at the British Travel Awards for several consecutive years. The airline was particularly noted for its comprehensive holiday flight network and integration with Thomas Cook's package holiday business.
