Dubai-based Titan Aviation has added three new aircraft to its privately managed fleet as it celebrates its 10th year of operations. It has added a Hawker 900XP, Learjet 60XR and Embraer Legacy 650 to a fleet which now incorporates seven business jets and one helicopter, based in the Middle East, India and Europe.

The fleet already includes Embraer Legacy 600s and Embraer Phenom 100s. “Two of the managed business jets are available to the charter market,” Titan said in a statement. The company offers customers new and pre-owned aircraft sales, aircraft operations and maintenance, aircraft management and charter services from the UAE, India and worldwide on its Cayman Islands-registered fleet.

Its dedicated regional HR service places pilots, crew, type-rating examiners and instructors, and sales and marketing managers, in aviation companies in the Middle East. “We… mark our 10th anniversary by adding three new aircraft to the managed fleet. We also have a further four managed aircraft in the pipeline, so the business has real momentum,” said Captain Sakeer Sheik, managing director of Titan Aviation.

“It’s been an eventful 10 years in which we have seen the regional private aviation industry consolidate and mature, and Titan has played a role in this process by offering all the benefits and advantages of aircraft ownership without any of the burdens such as regulatory issues, operational coordination, maintenance and administrative matters, and crew,” said Capt. Sheikh.

“We have also sold over 35 aircraft in this period, helped make aircraft profitable for owners, and developed a unique regional aviation HR service.”

Titan claims to have placed 450 pilots as well as other crew and trainers in the region for executive travel involving general, corporate and commercial aviation. “We are always on the look-out for talented professionals and are now looking ahead to the rise of low-cost airlines, and expect to be working with more specialists in this field in the future,” he said.
