TRAVEL and tourism giant TUI has stopped running deportation flights for the Home Office following pressure from campaigners, migrant rights groups have claimed.

The German holiday firm became the main airline carrying out charter flights for the British government in 2020 and 2021, according to research group Corporate Watch. 

This led to Soas Detainee Support (SDS), a group offering legal and welfare support to people held in immigration removal centres, to target the company.
