Thomsonfly was a British charter and scheduled airline. Thomsonfly was the first stage of TUI AG's plans to expand its business within TUI UK prior to September 2007.

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 Thomson Airways.
