Had a dream afternoon at the album launch for @suzettecharles_ some bangers and then nicest lady you could ever want to meet. Pinch me

[Nathan Stower @nathanstower1]

Big thanks to the Emma and the team and John's office for making the visit possible.

[Nathan Stower @nathanstower1]

It was also a great opportunity to discuss how global events impact consumers and the travel and tourism sectors. The good news from the team is that local demand is resilient and there are some great deals available.

[Nathan Stower @nathanstower1]

There really is no better way to showcase what TUI contributes to local communities. With 320+ stores employing c.3000 people, including over 100 apprentices, that story is replicated right across the country.

[Nathan Stower @nathanstower1]

Lovely morning co-hosting @JohnHealey_MP with @TUIUK Holiday Store team in Rotherham. The fantastic team of 21 colleagues includes someone who has been with the business for over 30 years all the way through to a current apprentice.

Surprisingly little coverage of news that the Scottish Air Departure tax will finally launch in April 2027, replacing UK Air Passenger Duty for Scottish departures. Will the Scottish Government take the opportunity to gain a competitive advantage and tackle design floors of APD?

[Revenue Scotland @RevenueScotland]

As part of the 2026-27 Scottish Budget, the date for the implementation of Air Departure Tax has been announced as 1 April 2027. Air Departure Tax (ADT) is a wholly devolved tax that replaces the Air Passenger Duty (APD) in Scotland.

Air passenger duty to rise in both April 2026 and 2027.
By the summer of 2027, a family of four flying to Orlando will paying £1,008 in tax for leaving the UK in anything better than basic economy, eg premium economy.

Teams are working with travel agencies including @TUIUK colleagues, and the High Commissioner to Jamaica @AliciaH_1, to support British Nationals on the ground.

A delivery of aid is en route and due to arrive in Jamaica this evening.

[Nathan Stower @nathanstower1]

Great to see @TUIUK supporting the relief effort in Jamaica.

@JonnyBaxterFCDO Hi Jonny. My late 70s mother in law is stranded in Lagos and we’re struggling to get help with fcdo/uk border force. Would it be possible to contact me.

[Nathan Stower @nathanstower1]

Pleased to see government policy change on apprenticeship minimum lengths lead to real new opportunities. Great work by team @TUIUK and delighted our new minister @Mather_Keir has welcomed this initiative. Sure to be super competitive! https://t.co/mDH5mGjkBx

@MikeKaneMP Few Av Ministers have got some much done and moving in that time. Thanks for listening and doing and being such a champion for growth and good jobs in the industry. Not forgetting the hard yards of opposition!

[Nathan Stower @nathanstower1]

We’ve got a large UK apprenticeship programme but also great to see our unspent Apprenticeship Levy funds put to good use to support NHS and others https://t.co/onz9qbghLe

Enjoyed talking to members of the DSA Action Group @LeePitcherMP @SallyJameson and @jowhite__ about the re-opening of Doncaster Sheffield airport. Strong advocates for the benefits of a regional international airport for local people and the economy. https://t.co/1PzpVTBDH2
