The announcement of the addition of the two latest aircraft, the first of which will arrive this autumn with the second following in the spring of 2015, follows the successful launch of the carrier’s first Airbus, G-POWI, in 2013.
As well as a single Airbus A320, Titan Airways’ current fleet comprises 6 Boeing aircraft. The move to Airbus is a strategic one for the carrier as it aims to introduce more modern, economical and environmentally friendly aircraft to the operation.
Alastair Kiernan, Titan Airways Commercial Director, explains: “Our aim over the next 5 years is to gradually phase out older aircraft and modernise our operation by introducing further Airbus types, which may include the Airbus A319, A321 and A330, offering both diversity and total fleet commonality for the future.”
“With the 2 new additions, which are equipped with the latest technology and modern passenger cabins, we aim to ensure our passengers benefit from the most comfortable in-flight experience, together with the high levels of customer service for which we are known.”
The initial Airbus has proven to be a highly popular choice among Titan Airways’ airline and tour operator customers and the carrier anticipates strong demand for the 2 supplementary A320s from the airline sub-charter and package holiday sectors, as well as the ad hoc charter market.
