Package tour operator TUI Travel said UK winter trading has been ahead of expectations, while overall the group has traded much as the board anticipated in the six months to the end of March.
"Summer 2012 volumes have improved in all key markets since our last update," revealed Chief Executive, Peter Long. "We are pleased with the development of bookings and pricing in the UK, where we continue to out-perform the market and have a strong performance in online sales," he added.
Trading in France, however, remains difficult where bookings for North Africa are weaker than originally anticipated.
