Astraeus, Titan etc

Hi guys was just wondering how the smaller operators such as Astraeus and Titan are doing. Notice they have been doing a lot of XL repatriation flights. They must be raking the money in?

They might fair well, a lot of their work is ACMI so some other buggar pays for the fuel!

Flightline are contracted until MAR09 with additional LCY services for BA, and OMNI are busy helping MON out with various flights...

These companies as well as others, ''make hay while the sun shines'' but it is more difficult for them in general as their work tends to come and go...

Titan have various mail contracts at night, so they are relatively busy anyway. They can also help others out in between mail flights as well as using aircraft not tasked to the mail op.

I believe Monarch picked up most of the XL repatriation from the CAA and then subcontracted in the likes of aeu, awc, etc. Very healthy margins for all concerned.
