TRAVEL operator TUI has cancelled all of its holidays until May 14 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A statement issued on social media today (Wednesday) said: "These are uncertain times for us all, and we don't underestimate the impact on those of you with holidays booked.

"For that reason we've made the difficult decision to cancel all holidays up to and including May 14.

"Our travel promise still stands, as it's important for us to give you the holidays you deserve.

"This means you can amend all holidays up to June 30 for free, even if you're due to travel between April 17 and May 14.

"We continute to comply with the government's social distancing rules, which means our customer service teams are working from home.

"We're receiving an extraordinarily high volume of contact, so we're still kindly asking that you don't call or message us unless it's absolutely urgent. We'll be in touch with you to discuss your options."
