Holiday giant Tui has said bookings in Europe have been “largely unaffected” by the Russian invasion of Ukraine as it revealed summer demand is at 80% of pre-pandemic levels.

The company said it has now “steered safely” through the impact of the pandemic and will start paying back rescue loans from the German government and private banks.
