West Africa specialist The Gambia Experience has chosen Titan Airways to operate its winter 2015/16 charter flight series from London Gatwick to Banjul.

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 until the end of April next year.

Stansted-based charter and sub-charter specialist, Titan Airways, will be relocating one of their three-strong Airbus A320 fleet to Gatwick for the duration of the contract.

The aircraft, which features Titan Airways’ newly launched wireless entertainment platform, will be configured with 168 all-leather seats for the role. The Gambia Experience will be offering an upgraded Star Service flight option with a comprehensive package of flight extras.

Paul Kenny, Commercial Manager, The Gambia Experience, commented: “We are proud to be increasing our cooperation with Titan Airways. We receive regular praise regarding the crew, comfort and attention to detail of the airline from our Corsica customers and we know that Titan will look after our Gambia clients just as impeccably.”

Alongside the Banjul flight series, the Gatwick based A320 unit will operate weekend ski flights to the French Alps. Outside of these dual commitments, the aircraft will be available for further tour operator requirements, ad hoc charter and airline sub charter roles.
