European charter airline Titan Airways has completed the purchase of an Embraer E190LR regional jet.

The aircraft will be registered G-POWX, and joins the carrier’s mixed fleet of  13 passenger and cargo aircraft. Configured in dual-class layout with nine business class and 88 economy seats, the aircraft is available for charter services alongside the the airline’s existing A320, A321 and A321LR aircraft.

Alex Harrington, Titan Airways Commercial Director, commented: “We are delighted to introduce the Embraer 190LR into our fleet. This modern aircraft will allow us to offer our clients a more fuel-efficient option when serving the 70-seat + charter market. It has a spacious cabin and nicely fills the gap for smaller capacity charter and lease requests in the UK and Europe.” Harrington noted that Titan plans to offer varied cabin options, including a 100 seat all-economy layout.

“Boasting a range of 2,400nm and the capability to operate to restrictive airfields, such as London City, Florence, Berne, and San Sebastien, we are confident the Embraer 190LR will be a popular addition to our fleet. We are already seeing considerable interest and bookings from airline and charter customers,” he stated, adding the airline is already looking at other opportunities to add more EJet variants to the fleet.

Titan Airways may be new to the E190LR, but its commercial fleet is supported by an Embraer Phenom 300 light jet, which is regularly used to position crews and engineers. The eight-seat plane is also available to charter via business aviation group, SaxonAir.
