TUI stock is in focus after Fly4 Airlines Green sought provisional liquidation in Ireland on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The Irish High Court appointed joint provisional liquidators after the carrier ran into financial difficulties linked to the US-Iran war and higher fuel costs, The Irish Times reported.
Fuel costs deepen Fly4 losses
Fly4 Airlines Green was established in 2023 as a joint venture between Polish carrier Enter Air and TUI B, part of TUI Group. TUI holds 49 percent of the company, while Enter Air holds the majority stake.
Fly4 Chief Financial Officer Douglas Fay said the company lost 1.1 million euros in the first nine months of 2026, falling materially short of its expectations. The loss was attributed to the impact of the US-Iran war and the higher fuel costs associated with it.
The company had forecast earnings of 3 million euros for 2026. Its cash balance stood at 2.7 million euros, while underlying cash costs ran at 2.5 million to 3 million euros a month, according to evidence cited by The Irish Times. Fly4 also expected net heavy-maintenance exposure of 4 million euros over the following six months.
Aircraft and investor implications
Fly4 operated four Boeing 737-800 aircraft under lease arrangements in Turkey, Germany and Belgium. The planes served airlines, brokers and tour operators through wet-lease and charter capacity rather than carrying Fly4's own ticketed holiday traffic.
The court appointed Mark Degnan and Brendan O'Reilly of Interpath as joint provisional liquidators. Their mandate covers the company's assets, aircraft arrangements and obligations to employees, lessors and other stakeholders. For TUI, the case highlights the financial and operational risks that can arise in smaller aviation partnerships when seasonal utilisation and fuel costs move against the business.
TUI's investor materials describe the group as an integrated leisure company spanning hotels, cruises, tours and activities. The group publishes financial results and strategy updates through its investor relations page.
