Storm have no aircraft - their specialities are the supply of pilots / cabin crew / engineers / trainers / etc, and also the provision of engineering line-maintenance support to airlines - indeed they provide the line-maintenance for Astraeus, and many other much larger airlines.

Astraeus presently have five B737's:

G-STRA - B737-300
G-STRB - B737-300
G-STRC - B737-700
G-STRD - B737-700
G-STRE - B737-300

Until about two weeks ago Astraeus also had a sixth aircraft, i.e. G-BZZA - B737-300, which it has since been returned its owners / leasing company

The fleet predominantly operates out of LGW, MAN, and STN - and / or where ever the business requires.

Subject to market conditions, it's is strongly rumoured that for the 2004 summer season Astraeus will be operating a fleet of seven, or maybe even eight, B737's ( a mixture of -300 & -700 series aircraft ).

They are also presently negotiating for a total fleet renewal ( in 2005 ) where any such fleet is very likely to be either Boeing B737's or Airbus A319's.
