Jetairfly
Belgium-based low-cost leisure airline operating short-, medium- and long-haul holiday flights, primarily from Brussels Airport, as part of the TUI travel group.
About Jetairfly
Jetairfly is the former name of the airline now marketed as TUI fly Belgium. Established in 2003 and beginning operations in 2004, the Belgian carrier was created from TUI’s local leisure-aviation businesses and adopted its current brand in 2016. Its legal name remains TUI Airlines Belgium, and it is owned by the German tourism company TUI Group. The airline primarily serves package-holiday customers while also selling flight-only tickets.
Brussels Airport is the airline’s principal hub and its most important departure point. TUI fly Belgium also operates from several regional Belgian airports, including Brussels South Charleroi, Antwerp, Ostend-Bruges and Liège, although schedules vary by season. Its network is strongly leisure-focused, connecting Belgium with Mediterranean resorts, the Canary Islands, North Africa, the Red Sea, sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and Mexico.
The fleet is built around Boeing 737 aircraft for European and nearby leisure routes, supplemented by Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners for longer services. Embraer E-Jets have also been used on thinner routes where a smaller aircraft is appropriate. Most flights offer an economy-style product, with fare conditions determining baggage and flexibility. Selected long-haul aircraft provide upgraded seating or service options, but the experience is generally simpler than that of a traditional network airline.
TUI fly Belgium is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. It also does not operate a conventional mileage-based frequent-flyer programme comparable with those of major network carriers. Its commercial model instead centres on TUI holiday packages, optional extras and direct leisure sales. Passengers should not assume that status benefits, mileage earning or reciprocal lounge privileges will be available when booking a Jetairfly or TUI fly Belgium service.
The airline’s main strength is its broad selection of direct holiday routes from Belgium, which can remove the need to connect through a larger European hub. Regional departures are also convenient when offered. The trade-off is that many routes are seasonal or operate only a few times per week, reducing flexibility after disruption. Product details, baggage inclusions and airport availability can differ considerably by route and fare, so careful comparison is worthwhile.
Good to know
Flying with Jetairfly — what to expect
Check Your Fare
Baggage, seat selection and ticket flexibility depend on the fare or holiday package purchased. Review the booking conditions before departure rather than assuming checked luggage is included.
Seasonal Schedules
Many leisure routes operate seasonally or only on selected days. Allow extra flexibility when arranging hotels, transfers or separate connecting flights.
Multiple Belgian Airports
Flights may leave from Brussels Airport, Charleroi, Antwerp, Ostend-Bruges or Liège. Check the airport carefully because these departure points are not interchangeable.
Long-Haul Aircraft
Boeing 787 Dreamliners are generally used for longer leisure routes, while Boeing 737 aircraft handle much of the European network. Aircraft substitutions can still occur for operational reasons.
Package Holiday Bookings
Passengers booked through TUI as part of a package may have different baggage or transfer arrangements from flight-only customers. The confirmation documents are the best guide to what is included.
Limited Alliance Benefits
The airline belongs to no major global alliance and has no conventional frequent-flyer programme. Travellers should not expect mileage earning or reciprocal elite benefits.
