Holiday operator TUI has announced its latest list of cancelled flights due to Covid restrictions.

Destinations axed include Spain, Mexico, Turkey, Italy and Thailand.

Cruises and TUI's lakes and mountains holidays are also impacted with customers being contacted if their getaway has been scrapped.

The government has confirmed that their latest list of green, amber and red countries will be reviewed every three weeks which determines quarantine and Covid testing requirements.

The holiday company said: "If we need to cancel your holiday for any of these reasons, you don't need to do anything. We’ll work through bookings in departure date order to proactively contact you as soon as we can. If you have an accommodation-only booking, which isn’t impacted by travel restrictions, and that you therefore don’t want to cancel, please give us a call.

"To offer continued flexibility and reassurance, we have extended our fee-free changes policy to the end of April 2022, for package holiday, flight-only and accommodation-only customers. We also have a fee-free changes policy in place for Marella Cruises and TUI River Cruises customers and for destinations on the green watchlist."

It comes as TUI confirmed the cancellation of flights to a popular holiday destination from East Midlands Airport.

The airline has axed flights to Fuerteventura from the airport as part of a review of its flying programme.

Holidaymakers are still being offered twice weekly flights to Lanzarote and flights three times a week to Tenerife in the Canary Islands from the busy airport.
