Titan Airways
Mate of mine just rang and said he thinks it has.
Can't get on to their website either! Pretty sure it can't be true!!! |
Who is your "mate" and why would he think that they've gone bust?
My wife is on the way home from her shift for them today. Should I ask her? She may know a bit more than your "mate". Like were they impounded on arrival. They may have lost a contract on a big aircraft this week, but that is ACMI life. Last I heard was they were asking for crew to volunteer for organising the 25th Birthday party lash up. And that was only last week. I'm looking forward to the 25th birthday party in all honesty. Always a rare old night out at the Titan parties. |
Well fingers crossed he's wrong!
His Facebook status says - another one bites the dust and I will miss all my friends at Titan!! ????? Anyone got any info?? |
Has he resigned from Titan perhaps?
You can never trust Facebook can you really??? Let us hope everything is ok. Anyhow, Mrs NR has just come in the door and doesn't look bothered.;) But, then again, that could just be her. |
Titan bust???
Has Titan gone bust??
|
Very much doubt it.
Why say such a thing ? |
I have heard that they have today!
That's why I said such a thing!!! It's a question???? |
Website not working. Is that what you're basing this on?
|
Titan bust??? nah Piston Broke !!!!
|
I doubt it very much and I saw them flying today.
|
It may be that they've lost the South Atlantic MoD contract. I was talking to some of their crew in Apr and they seemed to think that was the case.
|
19 flights listed on CFMU for today so doubt they have gone bust somehow !
|
G-ZAPX 757 just arrived at LGW to operate a flight for Monarch so methinks that was definately a nasty rumour-so glad..... love to see the Titan aircraft here:)
|
They've had 2 and sometimes 3 aircraft with BA in the last few months, that kind of ACMI will be earning them a fortune, so would be surprise if they went bust. It's more likely another contract bites the dust which is standard.
|
You might find if you look carefully that Titan have closed their own ski operation, and gone back to just operating ski flights on behalf of other operators, probably a very good idea, provide the seats and let professional tour operators get on with what they do, filling other people's air seats.
South Atlantic flights for the MOD will come and go. If HM government wish to give our taxes to a " cheap "foreign airline, to help protect " our " dependencies so be it, I am sure that the military type passengers on those long flights south will make their views known soon enough. Titan are probably well out of that contract for a few months, there is plenty of ACMI work out there for a quality operator with a spare 767 300ER. |
Sam, you may find that the South Atlantic is on its way to a very British airline that has been around for 40+ years ( that's the rumour in the crewroom of this ' spotty' airline).
|
spotty airline ?
|
IIRC the Air Bridge contract runs from September to September - they took over from Air Seychelles first or second week of September last year and there was only a week or so's public notice
|
Might be Iberia ;);)
No love lost these days between the Argies and our Spanish friends!!! |
Monarch!!!
|
A Titan B.737 currently on the Tarmac at Glasgow operating a Gatwick flight for British Airways.
|
Do you know how long the Titan 737 is operating for BA to Gatwick? I'm due to fly on the 0645 flight on Sunday 2nd September. I've only flown with them once, they were operating a 757 for Easyjet from Stansted to Malaga in March 2005.
|
Titan have been covering for BA at gatters for about the last 6 months, some days it's a 733 others a 757, others both.
It's all due to tech problems with the 734 fleet but hats off to BA for bringing Titan in to help |
Some tit drove into a BA 737 and it's been AOG ever since. Titan are picking up the pieces.

Some tit drove into a BA 737 and it's been AOG ever since. Titan are picking up the pieces. Do you mean recently or are you meaning the one several months ago ? If its the latter, that bird was flown to LHR and repaired and is now back in active service |
There was a BA B734 on the BEALine base at LHR tonight as I landed 27R. Unusual to see them on their old stomping grounds.
|
Strong rumours monarch have secured the falklands contract
|
Is there a Portuguese outfit called "hi-fly" or something like that?
If so, I was told they'd got the contract. Who knows though? Could be :mad: |
Titan not bust!!
The airbridge contract has gone to Hi fly from the end of september.
|
I have just had a very pleasant flight on a Titan 757 on charter from Monarch as their own a/c was u/s. Lovely well-spoken cabin crew, very clean aircraft, seats showing signs of heavy wear though.
|
Yea there is a company called HIFly, the operate A310, A330 and A340's on a wet lease basis. They were charted in by Aer Lingus last week to help when 2 A330's went tech.
|
Will a mod please change the title of this thread?
It is incorrect and pure kite flying. |
Titan alive and well
Couldnt agree more and their impressive website is up and running to boot :ok:
|
Hi guys,I'm a LTMA controller.One day last week(can't remember which) there was an A340 operating Gatwick-US,on Titan trip number but the very nice sounding lady pilot didn't use the r/t c/s "ZAP",just the phonetic Alpha Whiskey Charlie. Possibly the Portuguese company mentioned earlier,accent sounded about right.
|
Couple of weeks ago Hifly operated MOD flight with A340 Calgary-Brize Norton with Titan Flt No. Maybe the Portuguese don't get the batman theme with the callsign and the Titan a/c reggies.
|
Titan 737 in LGW and 757 in BHX yesterday.
|
Anybody in the know how concerning Titan's wet leasing operation this year? 2 more A320s coming online shortly.
|
Superpilot
You mean next year?
|
I guess so! :ok:
