Dubai's Titan Aviation is marking its 10th year of operation by adding several aircraft to its existing privately managed fleet. The company has inducted a Hawker 900XP, Learjet 60XR and Embraer Legacy 650 to the managed fleet, which now comprises seven business jets and one helicopter, based in the Middle East, India and Europe. The jets in the fleet already include Legacy 600s and Phenom 100s; two of the managed jets are available to charter.

Titan provides a range of aviation services, including new and pre-owned sales, purchases on behalf of owners and buyers, aviation recruitment, aircraft operations and maintenance, management, and air charter services worldwide. It registers and operates a fleet of aircraft based in the Cayman Islands on behalf of owners and is approved by the Cayman CAA as a CAMO.

Captain Sakeer Sheik, md, says: “We are delighted to 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.

“It has 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.

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

During the last 10 years, Titan Aviation has successfully placed 450 pilots in the region, as well as crew members, examiners, instructors and sales and marketing managers in aviation companies across the region.
