Thomson Airways spreads more than a little British around the world. Formerly Thomsonfly, the airline is one of the UK's largest charter airlines, flying about 8 million passengers annually from some 20 UK airports to about 80 destinations in some 40 countries. The carrier is headquartered at London Luton Airport. Operating a fleet of about 50 Boeing aircraft, Thomson Airways was founded as Euravia in 1962 (becoming Britannia Airways two years later). It is a subsidiary of German-based TUI, the #1 travel services and tourism company in Europe. In addition to Thomson Airways, TUI operates under the TUIfly, TUIfly Nordic, Arkefly, Corsair, and Jetair brand names.
