Titan Airways

[Wycombe]

FR24 this morning tells me that an Airtanker A330 G-VYGM is just leaving Brize enroute to Goa with a Titan callsign.

Assuming this is a repatriation flight of some sort?

Must be repatriation. Meanwhile G-POWD is on her way to Dubai...

Yes. Three repatriation flights in total. I believe they are operating Weds/Fri/Sun from Goa to Stansted.

Few other potential repatriation ones, some under the RAF flight code, two tonight from BGI and GRK. Unsure whether these are military personnel or UK citizens stranded overseas but cannot imagine BGI would be a hot spot for military personnel.

Good for the likes of Titan to pick up the extra slack too though as well as freight.

Are Titan still taking delivering of their new aircraft? Something at the back of my head says it was a former South American AC (Maybe Brazil?) or has this been put on hold too?

No the Avianca A330 200 they bought to replace the 767 300er they have.

They’ve been operating to and from Stansted to Accra for the government repatriation flights, some via Las Palmas. I would imagine it’s this reason, unless anyone knows otherwise?

[Out Of Trim]

FR24 reporting that Titan A318 G-EUNB will operate on 20APR to St Helena with medical staff, 960 test kits, 5 ventilators and 2.5 t of supplies.

I see the 767 has now left the fleet - and the spare freighter has been put to use with ASL on the Amazon network
