Latest rumour is a Letter of Intent to purchase an ex-BA A318, LCY cleared, 30 odd seater type...
I had heard rumours that IAG were intending selling one of the A318's over the next couple of months. It will be interesting to see what they do when it comes to the Cabin layout. Titan may find it very challenging to find companies wanting to lease the A318 if it was to remain in the 32J BA configuration.
Personally I think Titan would likely refit the aircraft with a with anywhere between a 128Y or 132Y high density all economy layout similar to what they have done with the A320's and the A321 they have added over last couple of years. This would make it far easier to lease to other airlines. Does anyone know if the aircraft would still be cleared for LCY ops if a high density cabin was fitted?.
A 128Y+ configuration would mean the A318 would be able to carry the same number of pax as Titan's ageing 130Y config 737-300's. Could the aircraft be lined up to replace one of them?.
