If I remember correctly the three TCX* series frames at TCX were ex Avianca, so maybe it was bought with the intention of being a summer lease frame for TCX in the future

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! |

Any link to the source of the info on the A330?
It reads: London Stansted based ACMI lease and charter specialists, Titan Airways, are introducing their first Airbus wide body into their fleet.

Our highly experienced commercial, in-flight services staff, as well as our flight deck and cabin crew, will also ensure that from start to finish our customers receive the very best level of service, which sets us apart from our competitors. |
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? |
Titan confirmation, The A330 will arrive first quarter 2020 and begin revenue flights in April 2020. The arrival of the A330 will coincide with the disposal of the B767 from Titans fleet. |
BA will use a A321 leased from Titan to operate there daily service from Heathrow to Cairo from 7th November through until at least early January. The aircraft will be configured in a 2 class configuration with 44 premium economy seats and 100 economy seats.

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. |
I see G-POWK has had a couple of diverts flying back from BJL recently (FAO & LPA!). Does anyone know why?

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.

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? |
No, was only ever to St Thomas and then a chartered ferry for the passengers to Tortola. Debate still continues about extending our runway to allow more direct flights.

Does anyone know if Titan are planning on adding anymore A320 family aircraft for next summer?
