'''TUIfly Nordic [[Aktiebolag|AB]]''' (formerly '''Blue Scandinavia AB''' and '''Britannia Nordic AB''') is a [[charter airline]] headquartered in [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]], and is a part of the [[TUI Group]]. It operates short, medium and long-haul flights to leisure destinations from several airports in the [[Nordic countries]], on behalf of the tour operators TUI Danmark (Denmark), TUI Suomi (Finland), TUI Norge (Norway) and [[TUI Sverige]] (Sweden). In 2016, the airline carried approximately 1,500,000 passengers.

==History==
The airline was originally formed in 1985 as [[Transwede Airways]] operating both charter and scheduled flights to destinations around [[Europe]]. In 1996 the charter part of the airline was taken over by the Swedish tour operator [[TUI Sverige|Fritidsresor]] and was renamed '''Blue Scandinavia'''. Following the acquisition of Fritidsresor by [[TUI Group|Thomson]] in 1998 the airline was renamed '''Britannia Nordic'''. After [[TUI Group|Preussag]] (TUI) acquired the Thomson Group in 2000 the airline was renamed '''TUI fly Nordic''' in 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wanderlustingk.com/travel-blog/tui-airlines-review|title=TUI Airlines Review|date=November 2018 |publisher=Wanderlusting|access-date=22 September 2019}}</ref>

In 2015 the TUI Group announced that all five of its airline subsidiaries would be renamed TUI Airlines, whilst keeping their separate Air Operators Certificates, taking about three years to complete. As of 2017, most aircraft had been repainted and rebranded with the new "Dynamic Wave" livery and name.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/40752-arke-fly-kicks-off-tui-group-rebranding-exercise|title=Arke Fly kicks off TUI Group rebranding exercise|date=8 October 2015|publisher=CH Aviation|access-date=22 September 2019}}</ref>

[[TUI Group]] has 70 [[Boeing 737 MAX|737 MAX]]s on order for the group.<ref name="boeing">[http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/displaystandardreport.cfm?cboCurrentModel=737&optReportType=AllModels&cboAllModel=737&ViewReportF=View+Report Boeing 737 Orders & Deliveries]</ref> The order consists of 20 [[Boeing 737 MAX|MAX 10]] aircraft,<ref name="max10">[https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/paris-leisure-group-tui-converts-18-orders-to-737-438384/ PARIS: Leisure group TUI converts 18 orders to 737 Max 10]</ref> with the remaining variants unspecified as of June 2017.<ref name="max10"/><ref name="boeing"/> These will be used for both replacement of older aircraft and further expansion. TUI fly Nordic was scheduled to receive its first of five [[Boeing 737 MAX 8]] in February 2018.<ref name="737max">{{Cite web|url=https://johnsairlineblog.wordpress.com/2017/07/18/john-murphys-blog-july-2017/|title=John Murphy's blog – July 2017|date=18 July 2017}}</ref>
