Ex-TC-SUA, N1786B. Later EI-DND, F-GIRS, OK-PIK, ZS-ZWP

K25 slide scan. Delivered 2000. Futura EC-IUC 2004, Ryan International EI-DND 2006, returned to Futura 2007, leased again 2008. New Axis Airways F-GIRS 2009, returned to lessor as OK-PIK. Kulula ZS-ZWP 2010, Comair 2015 operating in British Airways colours. Withdrawn Johannesburg 2022.

Before joining the Kulula.com fleet in January of 2010, this 2000 built airframe had flown with Turkish airline SunExpress as TC-SUA, then with Spanish operator Futura as EC-IUC and finally with US operator Ryan International Airlines as EI-DND. It briefly was registered in the Czech Republic as OK-PIK (with leasing company GECAS). It joined Comair in August of 2015 and now wears the full "British Airways" livery, which is not as funny as when it was captured here during approach into JNB.

This 738 was originally delivered to SunExpress in January 2000 as TC-SUA. It joined Futura in February 2004 but was leased to Ryan International as EI-DND from January to April 2006 and, upon its return, kept the Irish reg. The plane is pictured here about to touch down on rw28. From December 2007 until May 2008 the plane was again leased to Ryan International before going to NewAxis Airways in May 2009 as F-GIRS. In January 2010 the plane started flying with Kuoula.com in South Africa as ZS-ZWP and is still current Comair in a British Airways scheme.

Delivered to SunExpress in January 2000 as TC-SUA. To Futura in February 2004 as EC-IUC. Leased to Ryan International Airlines as EI-DND between January and April 2006 and December 2007 - May 2008. To New Axis Airways in May 2009 as F-GIRS. To GECAS as OK-PIK in December 2009. To Kulula in January 2010, withdrawn from use on July 16, 2015. To Comair in August 2015. Listed as stored by October 2020. Has to be one of my all-time favorite liveries.

On approach to Rwy 31.
