New aircraft type to join the ever-expanding fleet.... an A330-200 in 32J/206Y config. Looks to be an ex-Avianca Brasil machine by the looks of the lie-flat J seats.
Aircraft is only 5 years old and will be available from April 2020, will be interesting to see who snaps this up - EXS/TUI to name just two!
I assume this addition will have been planned well before the sad demise of TCX, meaning maybe more A330s might follow sooner rather than later!

Just been looking into Titan’s fleet past and present and noticed that one of their previous A320’s G-POWI was scrapped May 2018 at just 12 years old, that seems remarkably young, does anyone know why?

Maybe the Titan expansion at STN is in addition to that at MAN and BHX though?

This is in addition to the 7 A321's being acquired by Jet2, and particularly for STN expansion.

Are these aircraft crewed by Titan or Jet2 in the cabin?
Are a lot of crew at Titan on Seasonal or “Zero-Hours” contracts? Given the nature of the business there is a lot of “stand-by” and seasonal work?

The 321’s subbed to Jet2 in the summer are ZT flight deck and LS cabin crew as far as I’m aware.
Very nice photo - I did have a sneaky feeling that Air2000 for a short while flew the 767-300 into Tortola on Sunsail Yacht holiday charter flights.
The main flying program operated from LGW to St Thomas, on to ANU then back to LGW but I had a feeling they flew into Tortola for a bit?
Can you help?

Titan A318 arrived at Tortola, British Virgin Islands (EIS) yesterday on a charter flight from UK via Halifax. Largest aircraft to have landed at our airport.
