Greece: TUI says flights are operating as normal to Rhodes

A TUI spokesperson has said flights to Rhodes are continuing to operate as normal.

Wildfires on the Greek island of Rhodes have forced hundreds of holidaymakers to flee their hotels.

I’ve just got back from Rhodes as the fires were starting, we witnessed them from the air as we were taking off. It’s insane that TUI are still flying people out there, do they have a death sentence??? 😡😡

Broken glass bottles can act as a magnifier ppl should be aware and pick it up.

My daughter and partner are in Rhodes and have been evacuated from their hotel. There is no accommodation; they are at another hotel trying to sleep on the grass outside - no room available. It’s chaos and there is no support from TUI. They just want a flight home now!!!

Profits above safety. Absolutely disgusting.

[karennilsson]

Ridiculous flying out there when it's on fire what's wrong with people?

[Lenka.K.]

How does it look now? Is it worth to go there?

[tastypymp]

Despite the pushing of apocalyptic narratives by the media, the tourists keep on coming!

If they stop throwing out burning cigarette buds there would be no wildfires.

TUI Would not be my first choice, flying people to an Island that's on fire how stupid is that?

[bldtv]

Is there any update on who started the fires ? That’s where the priority should be once people are safe.

Our flight was cancelled today from Copenhagen to Rhodes (oper. by Tui).

[joanneshepherd]

What! How can TUI continue to fly people out to Rhodes when their lives are at risk!?

[athinagiovani]

I would be happy to lose the money and stay safe
Clearly immoral to send ppl there

[jamesaddison]

Completely irresponsible from TUI! They are prioritising profit over peoples safety

Here in Somalia. It is 28-29 🕶all through the year.
In the Arabian Gulf it is 45-55 every day!
We have blue sky every day in Somalia. It's hot but we have dry heat without humidity and its windy. 🌬
It's nice! 😎

We have a flight to Rhodes on Tuesday. I don’t know how it’ll go or will we even be able to go there.

[ryannoble]

Probably waiting for people to cancel so they donnt have to cover the losses.

[adamfernandez]

Why would anyone want to go to Rhodes its a oven fully fired up now .

[GrandpaVince]

Wait a minute if flights are going on roads wont they cause an accident?
