Six aircraft will be deployed in the UK and will be in operation by the summer season of 2014.

The Sunny Heart is the perfect symbol for our passion to create memorable holidays for our guests.”
G-TCDCย is also the first Airbus aircraft in the Thomas Cook Group to be fitted with wing-tip Sharklets which help the aircraft fly using less fuel, contributing – with the new fuselage shape – to an overall fuel efficiency of up to 6 per cent compared to the existing aircraft in the fleet.
