Twas indeed a pressurisation issue.

The same thing happened while it was operating SEN-LEJ four days ago and LEJ-SEN two days ago, so it's obviously a difficult defect to rectify.

According to Jethro's, an A330-343 P2F freight aircraft is due to join the fleet, ex Air Asia 9M-XBD.

A sizeable change from the B734's.

Is the A330 to big for SENs runway?

What has SEN got to do with Titan and a A330?

Size wise yes, but in current market conditions they have a great financial deal, most likely a long term PBH deal... still need to sell the extra space / kgs but sure they did their homework..

To answer the question earlier - yes- SEN is restricted with respect to widebodies due I think to runway width.

Did the 707s from the past operate cargo flights or were they just maintenance and storage. I remember visiting in the 80s/90s as the numbers increased.

G-EODS A330 delivered last night arrived from Ostend at 22:53, in GEODIS (a French freight company) markings

Yes, a Tristar once flew into SEN but it never left.... Was an old Aer Turas/TBG charter aircraft iirc...

Noticed on FR24 just now that the UK Govt 321Neo (G-XATW) is about to arrive in SYD (looks to have routed via DWC and KUL).

Edit: in fact landed at RAAF Richmond

"Taxi" for the England cricketers perhaps?

Carrying Liz Truss perhaps?

Thanks, seems more likely, still a long slog for a 321 (even if it's a "long range" one). Assume the 330 is needed back in blightly for op reasons.

Hope the Covid passports are in hand.

G-POWP
 

Just noticed G-POWP has / is moving onto pastures new with Northern Air Cargo in the states as N407YK. Was a good servant to Titan on the Belfast Royal Mail runs!

Does anybody know what the plans are for the A320/321/321NEO & 757 fleets this summer?

2 A321's are being leased to Jet2 for Summer 22, based at STN.

Any idea what’s going on with the Neos? The second one has recently been painted in the government scheme but the first one which already had the scheme is now in the paint shop. Seems an awful waste of money if they are just going to swap them over.

G-XATW returned to Stansted early hours of the morning and has been painted in a all black colour scheme. Have heard she will be leased out to TCS World travel for their worldwide holiday packages.
G-GBNI as has been stated is now in full UK government colours.

Why didn’t they use G-GBNI which was all white for TCS World? Pretty insane to paint over the UK scheme on G-XATW to then paint G-GBNI into the scheme instead. What a total waste of money! I seriously hope the tax payer hasn’t had to pay for this stupidity. They were both meant to be on lease to the Government so not sure what’s happened to that either.
