TUI issues important coronavirus update on its flights and holiday packages

TUI has again updated its travel information and advice for those looking to get abroad this summer.

Now just weeks away from July, many hopeful holidaymakers are wondering what will happen to their already booked getaways.

The UK's biggest tour operator has published a list of holiday packages that they have decided to cancel in light of the ongoing situation regarding coronavirus.

A statement from TUI reads: "The Foreign and Commonwealth Office currently advise against all but essential travel.

"We’d like to extend a personal thank you for your patience and understanding as our customer service and social media teams work around the clock during such an unprecedented time."

It continued: "We’ve been working behind the scenes to make a number of changes to our processes. These changes will make sure that we’re able to offer additional support to you going forward and will make managing your booking much easier for you."

If your holiday falls into one of the below categories, it has been cancelled:

• TUI holidays travelling on or before July 10 2020

• TUI River Cruises sailings travelling up until and including November 25 2020

• TUI Lakes and Mountain holidays travelling up until and including September 30 2020
