TUI Airline expands London Gatwick network with three new Spanish routes

TUI Airline will expand flight connectivity between the United Kingdom and Spain during the summer 2027 travel season, Spain Travel News reported. The carrier plans to introduce three new routes connecting London Gatwick Airport to Santiago de Compostela, Seville, and Valencia. [1]

The operational additions are part of a broader expansion plan that makes Gatwick the fastest-growing base for the airline in its summer schedule, according to Spain Travel News. TUI Airline will add eight total routes from Gatwick, raising its service network from the airport to 59 destinations. Beyond the Spanish locations, the new offerings will include services to Athens, Palermo, Tangier, Djerba, and Mytilene. [1]

London Gatwick Airport is located in Crawley, West Sussex, situated 30 miles south of Central London. It operated as the second-busiest airport by total passenger traffic in the United Kingdom in 2024, ranking behind Heathrow, and was the tenth-busiest airport in Europe. [2]

The new destinations include Seville, which is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia in southwest Spain. Peter Glade, the Commercial Director of TUI Airline, linked these route additions to broader network growth initiatives for travelers from the British capital and southern England, Spain Travel News reported.
