Peter Long, Chief Executive of TUI Travel PLC, commented "In the third quarter we achieved a strong performance in both our UK and Nordic businesses while all regions benefited from Easter falling in late April. This performance is particularly pleasing in the UK against a background of weak consumer sentiment. I believe that this is testament to our management team and our focus on exclusive and differentiated product which offers our customers quality, value holidays that are only available through our brands and sold principally across our own distribution channels. "Having reacted quickly to the events in North Africa by moving capacity mainly to the Western Mediterranean we have been able to mitigate the impact of these events across all regions with the exception of France where many consumers are choosing to holiday within their own country. "For the Summer, our overall volumes left to sell are in line with the prior year and we are confident of meeting our expectations for the full year in what is a challenging trading environment."

Highlights · On track to meet our full year expectations. · Underlying operating profit up £32m in the quarter: - Improvement driven by good performance of Northern Region, particularly the UK and Nordic businesses, by the later timing of Easter and by the non-recurrence of volcanic ash disruption. - Events in North Africa, however, have continued to impact significantly on trading for our French tour operators. - Turnaround and cost savings programme on track. · Strong trading for Summer 2011 high season: - Differentiated product has performed well, particularly in the UK and Nordics; - Selling prices and margins continue to develop in line with expectations in all source markets except France; and - Overall, volumes left to sell are in line with prior year. · Successfully refinanced our banking facilities with the signing of new facilities totalling £1.155bn. · Continued focus on balance sheet and cash management has resulted in cashflow improvement of £368m compared with the 9-month period ended 30 June 2010.
