Taking off from 2 November 2026, the new weekly Monday service will fly customers straight to Banjul in around six hours. 

The operator says prices for a package holiday start from £800 per person and include flights, accommodation, transfers, luggage and all the all-inclusive food and drink you can handle.   

Known as the ‘Smiling Coast of Africa’, The Gambia is famous for its friendly locals, laid-back vibe and buzzing beachside scene, with bars, restaurants and live music lining hotspots like the Senegambia Strip.  

Matt Hazelwood, chief commercial officer at Birmingham Airport, said: “We are delighted to welcome The Gambia back to our list of direct destinations with TUI.

“This popular winter sun getaway is easily accessible from Birmingham Airport, offering beautiful sandy beaches, stunning scenery, and nature reserves rich in Gambian wildlife, all just a six-hour flight from BHX.”
