Airtours initially flew a fleet of MD-83 aircraft to numerous short haul destinations across Europe.

During the 1990's the fleet was gradually changed to newer more modern and larger aircraft and long haul destinations where added.

Eventually, Airtours changed its name to MyTravel and has partner airlines in Scandinavia and Canada.

In June 2007 it was announced that Thomas Cook would merge with MyTravel.

Already, booking through MyTravel for flights, redirects you to Thomas Cook and holidays sold on MyTravel's website could be with Thomas Cook.

MyTravel employs around 1800 staff.
