History
TUI Airlines Belgium was created in March 2004 through the acquisition of most of the flights of Sobelair, which went bankrupt. Sobelair was the main airline used by tour operator Jetair, part of tourism group TUI AG, to carry Belgian tourists to their destinations.
On 23 November 2005, Jetairfly acquired its current name due to the new marketing strategy of the TUI Group.
On 11 October 2009, a Boeing 767-300ER, OO-TUC, was revealed in a new livery at Brussels Airport, Belgium. The name 'Jetairfly' has been removed and replaced with 'operated by TUI Airlines Belgium'.[3] The livery is to be used during the winter season whilst both Boeing 767-300ER aircraft are also operating flights for Thomas Cook Airlines (Belgium).
