And again...

Anybody know the plans for the additional A320s that have now been listed on Titan Airways Fleet List ?

Are they to replace some of the existing 737/757s for the standard ACMI stuff or to be leased for a longer period to the likes of EZ or Jet2?

Medium/Long term leases...and no change to Boeing fleet (at the moment!)

Any former pilot who got news about roster, condition and reputation about Titan?

Roster is an electronic piece of paper which bears no relation to what you may end up doing, the kind lady in charge of crewing once sent out what she thought was a meaningful and well intended 'clarification' document setting out rostering protocols, it included the the line that "the company will not change your rostered day(s) off with less than 24 hours notice"

other than that 30 minutes call out time from standby, excellent expenses and salary in general, CP & FM (737) are good people, if your in then your in.

Very interesting flying, but not for everyone and certainly not like any other airline in Europe

Titan 320's rumoured to go to jet 2.
If all goes well, they will go to all Airbus fleet of a320's and possible long term lease of a a330.

Please be more clear with your posting.
Are we saying the A320s will be operated on behalf of Jet2?
Are we saying Titan plans to go all Airbus? :ok:

Sorry......
Jet2 rumoured to be using titans a320s
Jet2 will go to all Airbus if all goes well with the a320s

Ahh get you!
That is going to take quite a while as Jet2 generally buy all their aircraft

I did say generally but the A330 is a different kettle of fish as it is
a short term lease over summer as is the Titan deal.
You make out that Jet2 are going to become an Airbus Airline which is a
whole different ball game as replacing 60 odd aircraft would be very expensive.

By the way I like Titans new colour scheme.

Thanks all. Nice people and friendly, that's true.

If there is a lot of stand by, how many hours per month expected? :ok:
Any problem to get paid?

FDS
 

I can't tell you for definite, as it'll depend which fleet you're on and how that fleet is being utilised over the summer. Also, I'm no expert, so there are others with a better idea of what the summer looks like.

If you're on a longer term leased aircraft, expect to be busy. Any standby will likely be within normal roster protocols, at the base where the aircraft is.

You could be doing 85-100 hours a month if on one of these aircraft. Less, if on standby for ad-hoc charter I imagine.

As for being paid? You'll be paid on time, every time. I have never, ever heard of anyone not being paid.

BA will lease a 757 from Titan Airways from the 18th to 25th of July. The aircraft will operate:

18th July - LGW-SKG-LGW-RHO-LGW
19th July - LGW-HER-LGW-FAO-LGW
20th July - LGW-BRI-LGW-DLM-LGW
21st July - LGW-MLA-LGW-AGP-LGW
22nd July - LGW-BCN-LGW-PFO-LGW
23rd July - LGW-HER-LGW-NAP-LGW
24th July - LGW-HER-LGW-AGP-LGW
25th July - LGW-MLA-LGW-FAO-LGW

The 202 seat 757 will operate in a 2 class configuration.

Which reminds me that they've had A320 G-POWI based at Edinburgh for Easyjet since the 21st May. How long does that one last?

G-POWI has been leased to EZY until the end of September. G-ZAPX is also planned to operate from EZY from LGW from July to Late September.

LS have leased G-POWM to operate flights out of GLA until the end of September.

Thank you!

Titan Fleet Questions
 

I see that one of the 737-300QC's is listed for sale with Cockley Brake Ltd. So it looks like 1 of the 737-300QC's will be leaving in October. I am guessing from the description that it will be G-POWC. Do Titan own all there Boeing aircraft or are any of them leased?

Aircraft for sale

The A320's seem to have been kept very busy since there arrival. It will be interesting to see what demand is like for them during the Winter.I remember reading somewhere that Titan was looking to transition from a Boeing to Airbus fleet over a 3 to 4 year period. Anyone know if we are likely to see another Airbus added to the fleet to replace the 737 for 2016?.

Monarch have been using a Titan A320 as well a lot recently

Anyone know the routes G-ZAPX will be on?

El Bunto
 

G-POWI is due to transfer to FCO for Easy as it did last year, around the end of July. :ok:

And then to LGW!

G-ZAPX: TFS & ALC with a Sunday CFU!

Cheers JB007!

EDIT: I'm randomly looking for some rides on Titan aircraft next year, I've confused myself trying to piece together the above replies, would someone be kind enough to post where Titan's leased out aircraft will be during August?

Thank you!!! :)

if you want a Titan ride call Tangney Tours.
they have quite a few flights to Lourdes and do sell seats.
They have had all of the Titan aircraft types this year already:)

EK77

In August A320's POWI based EDI flying for Easyjet, POWM based GLA flying for Jet2.
POWK is adhoc charter. They may change aircraft occasionally if need exists. Flight deck is Titan but cabin crew for long leases may be with respective airlines depending on lease agreement

B757's - ZAPX with Easyjet LGW for a period during mid-late July
POWH adhoc charter

Titan do additional tour operators flights, mainly at weekends eg Stansted-Dalaman Turkey on a Saturday for "Exclusive Escapes". Aircraft type will vary depending on aircraft availability and load factors.

Weekdays the B737's are normally tied to the Royal Mail night flying but are more available weekends for tour operator or ad-hoc flights.

The B767-300 seems to do everything adhoc both short and long haul depending on the requirements of the airline who need the availability.

Its FCO from the 21st July. :ok:

Sorry Mr Spotty (not that it matters much) you are out by a day Just double checked and its 22nd July -13 September flying from FCO then flying from LGW 14Sep to Nov 1st.

Titan will add to it's fleet a A319 during Spring 2016 and a A321 before Summer 2016 . Titan are also reported to be interested in acquiring an A318 to support tour operators on niche operations. According to the website aviator.aero

https://www.aviator.aero/search?utf8...n_id=2&q=titan

I flew of A320 POWI today LGW to HER

The A318 is quite niche. Wonder if they intend to certify it for LCY.

Maybe to sub for BAs New York service. There was quite a few cancelled a few weeks back.

A second A321 is due to be added to Titan's Fleet in the coming months. The 5 year old aircraft is currently registered OE-ELW and is coming from the Austrian airline Niki.

Titan Airways Fleet List

Anyone know if Titan still plan to add a A319 to the fleet this year or is the A321 being added to the fleet in place of it?

Friend was on a Titan plane over the weekend and loved the new seats, really makes a huge difference to leg room he said.

Does anyone know if there is any news of Titan wetleasing for easyJet again this summer?

Outsider rumours that 737QC G-ZAPW is leaving the fleet within the next few weeks, leaving just the 737F G-POWC for the mail service. Not sure how that would work... hand a route back to Jet2? ZAPW has been mainly used on the Edinburgh route recently with POWC to Belfast, according to FR24.


Also noticed A320 G-POWI operating for Novair over the weekend on the Scandinavian Sun-runs.

I wouldn't think that is correct.
In fact more 737's may well be joining the fleet in the near future

Sam

Titan have previously announced that they intend to go to to an all Airbus fleet so I can't see them acquiring any more Boeing 737 aircraft.

I also doubt that Jet2 would be picking up any additional mail flights. Two of their QC 737s, 'LA and 'LR, are both now pure pax aircraft.

S16 Leases
 

Apart from the leases below, Does anyone know if Titan are leasing any other aircraft for the S16 season

1 x A320 (G-POW*)- Leased to Norwegian International (01JUN16-31AUG16)
1 x A320 (G-POWI)- Leased to Novair (MAR16-JUN17)
1 x A321 (G-POWN) - Leased to Jet2 (Summer16)
1 x 757 (G-POWH) - Leased to Jet2 (MAR16-0CT16)

According to Jethos Fleet Listings, Titan are planning to add a A319 and A330 to there fleet in Spring 2017. Anyone know where these aircraft are coming from?

And 1, possibly 2 B737-400 Freighters! Ex BA G-DOC...
First due Oct/Nov
