Titan’s 757 returns to Saint Helena
Last summer saw the first arrival of Titan Airways’ Boeing 757 in Saint Helena. The flight, a repatriation mission, was the first time a 757 had landed on the island, making it the largest commercial aircraft to arrive on Saint Helena. On Monday this week, the 757 arrived again on the island, this time carrying a shipment of vaccines.
