TUI fly (Netherlands) (OR, Amsterdam Schiphol) has retired its last B767-300ER, bringing an end to B767 operations across the TUI Group. PH-OYJ (msn 29384) carried out its last revenue flight from Amsterdam Schiphol to Lanzarote via Fuerteventura and back to Amsterdam on November 3, 2024, according to Flightradar24 ADS-B data. It was subsequently ferried to Istanbul Sabiha Gökcen the following day.
Equipped with General Electric engines, PH-OYJ is 24.77 years old and was first delivered to Thomson Airways in February 2000. It was later operated by Arke Fly (previously HollandExel, now TUI fly (Netherlands)) and TUI fly (Belgium) before rejoining the rebranded Dutch carrier in January 2023. The airline previously operated seven B767-300ERs, according to the ch-aviation fleets module.
The B767 was historically operated by all the TUI Group AOCs with TUI Airways (BY, London Luton) operating the largest cumulative fleet of 18 throughout its history. The company announced in January 2022 that it planned to retire all its B767s by 2024, replacing them with B787s.
TUI fly Netherlands' widebody fleet comprises one B777-200ER wet-leased in from Spain's Privilege Style (P6, Palma de Mallorca) and five B787-8s, one of which is wet-leased in from TUI fly (Belgium). The Dutch AOC also reportedly evaluated the B737-10 as a potential replacement for its B767s.
