“We are reviewing the operational business of Tui Suisse during the day,” said TUI Switzerland spokeswoman Milica Vujcic when asked by BLICK. The performance of the services is almost impossible due to border closings and repeated travel warnings. The concrete decisions would be announced today. For the time being, she couldn’t say how many Swiss people are currently traveling with Tui. The health of customers and employees is a top priority.

Aid loan hoped

Tui stated the currently available liquidity at around 1.4 billion euros. However, due to the expected financial burdens, the company no longer has the confidence to forecast further business developments in the current year. The outlook from mid-February has been withdrawn. (gnc)
