The interest in the A318 comes as the carrier continues its fleet modernisation and moves across from Boeing to Airbus models. After first introducing an A320 into its fleet in 2013 it now operates three examples, and these will be joined by other variants from the aircraft family over the coming years so it operates a variety of sizes of aircraft with all different capabilities, range, performance etc but with fleet commonality.
UK ACMI and airline sub-charter specialist, Titan Airways, is seeking to raise its profile among the world’s airlines and is using the Routes regional event calendar to interact with airlines in specific regions.
The tour operator who - as sister brand Corsican Places - has been working with Titan for six years, will begin cooperation with the carrier on the Banjul route for the first time in mid October. The direct flights from Gatwick will operate up to three times weekly through the winter 2015/2016 schedule until the end of April next year.
The airline will offer eight weekly Chambery flights and a once a week Turin service, while a brand new route for the carrier from London Gatwick to Grenoble will see it offer a weekly flight for independent ski tour operator, Skiworld from mid December 2015 to mid April 2016 on one of its three Airbus A320-200 aircraft.
