Thomsonfly was the first stage of [[TUI AG]]'s plans to expand its business within TUI UK prior to September 2007. After TUI UK merged with First Choice Holidays in September 2007, it became part of [[TUI Travel]] PLC. The new holiday company continued with both in-house airlines (Thomsonfly and First Choice Airways) through winter 2007 and summer 2008 until the two were merged on 1 November 2008 as [[TUI Airways|Thomson Airways]]. Thomsonfly Limited held a [[Civil Aviation Authority (United Kingdom)|Civil Aviation Authority]] Type A Operating Licence permitting it to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.<ref>[http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?categoryid=183&pagetype=90&pageid=340 CAA operating licence]</ref>
