Thomson and First Choice statement on events in Tunisia

Thomson and First Choice are continuing to repatriate customers from Tunisia to airports across the UK.

A dedicated repatriation flight departed from Manchester airport yesterday bringing customers who wanted to end their holiday back to the UK.

Today, Thomson has 12 flights including one third party flight with Nouvelle Air scheduled to bring home customers at the end of their holiday and repatriate others who wish to return to the UK at the earliest opportunity.

We’d like to reassure all other customers that our team is working round the clock, handling a continuously moving and challenging situation, to make the necessary arrangements for our customers in Tunisia who wish to return to the UK and we ask that they please bear with us.

Those affected by the tragic events in Tunisia are our main priority and we will continue to do all we can to support our customers as well as their family and friends in resort at this exceptionally difficult time.

We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the friends and families of those involved in this tragic event. The whole of Thomson and First Choice are deeply shocked and truly saddened by the events and we are grateful to our staff on the ground and in the air and the emergency services who are working hard in an incredibly challenging environment.

Anyone with concerns about friends and families should continue to call 0800 0885372.
