Have a peek at TUI cruises, some of them depart from LGW and meet the ship in sunnier climates rather than meet in UK.

I noticed a TUI 737 arrive in from LGW and it was due to depart back to LGW again this evening. It's on the arrivals to be in again tomorrow morning from LGW again. Is this a training flight of sorts or something else?

Looks like it happened in September, lack of technicians is cited as one possible cause as well as "shortcomings in the "Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program"
