Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

COVID-19 has resulted in amended supplier payment terms, payment plans and deferrals of payments being agreed with many suppliers.

Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?

TUI has had open and constructive discussions with suppliers regarding payment terms. This was done on a supplier by supplier basis and some of the negotiations are still ongoing.
