TCE is helping passenger airline TUI Airline unlock the freight potential of its leisure network, bringing sales, operations and compliance together to build a cargo business alongside its established holiday services.

Since January 2019, TCE has provided the specialist organisation behind TUI Airline’s cargo offering. Its responsibilities span commercial development, customer management, booking coordination, operational support, quality assurance and security requirements, giving the airline an integrated cargo capability while its teams concentrate on their core passenger business.

The partnership addresses a clear opportunity: aircraft connecting holidaymakers with their destinations can also provide capacity for airfreight. Turning that space into a dependable commercial product requires dedicated expertise, customer relationships and coordination across the cargo operation.

Sarah Scheibe, Managing Director of TCE, said: “Aircraft capacity creates an opportunity, but expertise turns it into a business. We bring together the commercial relationships, operational coordination and compliance support that TUI Airline needs to develop its cargo activity. Our role is to make the airline’s capacity accessible to freight customers through a professionally managed service.”
