19.04.2010

Hanover, 19 April 2010. TUI Travel PLC, a subsidiary of TUI AG, has
today announced the following information regarding the impact of the
eruption of the volcano in Iceland:

"TUI Travel confirms that on Sunday 18 April 2010, it had
approximately 100,000 customers who were due to have returned home
from holiday, but have been unable to as a result of the closure of
much of Northern Europe´s airspace since Thursday 15 April 2010,
caused by volcanic dust in the atmosphere.

The welfare of our customers is paramount and the Group is providing
appropriate assistance to all those in resort whose return home has
been delayed.

For the Group, this is a period of relatively low holiday activity,
but the disruption to our programmes will still have a financial
impact. Currently, the estimated cumulative cost to the Group, up to
and including 18 April 2010, is circa £20 million. Estimated daily
costs thereafter will run at approximately £5 million - £6 million.
These cash costs are one-off in nature and will be disclosed
accordingly in our next Interim statement."

TUI AG currently directly and indirectly controls 54.9% of TUI Travel
PLC.

Some of the information in this press release may contain
predictions, expectations or forward-looking statements. These
statements may entail known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Actual
results and developments may therefore differ materially from the
expressed expectations and assumptions. The performance of financial
markets, the development of exchange rates, amendments to national
and international laws, in particular concerning tax regulations, may
also have an impact. Except as provided by law, the Company
undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
