Another route being operated by Titan is Lourdes.
The last summer charter series destination in mainland France from the UK
Equiptment used by Titan seems to vary across their whole fleet.
767 was being used as well as a 146 last week, tomorrow has 757 +737.
The Lourdes route is one of the oldest from the UK certainly going back to the days of the DC3
Viscounts were certainly well used all through the 50's 60's 70's and even into the early 80's. I think that most airlines / aircraft including 747's have operated charter flights on the UK Lourdes routes.
A certain other carrier is now offering a scheduled service, no doubt with a huge subsidy from the French.
I have no doubt the charters will survive, given the tenacity of the guys running the programme.
