Glasgow Airport TUI passengers issued warning about food and drinks on its flights

TUI Airways have issued a warning to Glasgow passengers about a change to their food and drinks services on its flights.

In an update on their website the operator said that a change to their services means they can, for now, no longer serve hot and cold meals or sandwiches.

In addition to this, the snacks and drinks they serve will be "limited" on board their short and mid-haul flights.

In a statement on May 5 they confirmed that the issue was due to "staff shortages" which would take place over the coming days and in total affects 15 airports - including two in Scotland.

TUI explained: "We can confirm that unfortunately due to staff shortages with our catering supplier, there will be no hot and cold meals or sandwiches, and a limited offering of snacks and drinks, available onboard TUI Airways short- and mid-haul flights over the coming days.

"Customers may therefore want to bring their own food and soft drinks onboard (no alcohol permitted). Any soft drinks over 100ml will need to be purchased after you have passed through security."

They noted that the disruption does not affect any long-haul flights to Aruba, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Orlando and St Lucia and meal services on these flights will "continue to operate as normal."

They stressed to passengers that they are "continuously monitoring the situation" and "working closely" with their suppliers in a bid to limit the impact to their onboard services.

All customers affected will be directly contacted with the company apologising for any inconvenience caused.

This will impact flights from the following airports:

  • Birmingham
  • Bristol
  • Cardiff
  • Doncaster Sheffield
  • Dublin
  • East Midlands
  • Edinburgh
  • Exeter
  • Glasgow
  • Humberside
  • Leeds Bradford
  • Luton
  • Manchester
  • Norwich
  • Teesside
