New with Balkan Bulgarian in 1974, this 134 soldiered on with Hemus until about four years ago then becoming derelict at Sofia; scrapped 9.08 but substantial sections remain at a lake near Ravno-Pole, apparently on premises used for the local "Big Brother" show!

Jes Air was a short-lived private enterprise which operated flights to New York and Singapore for just over a year from 6.91, using three leased A310s. This one was an Air Niugini aircraft (P2-ANA) which nowadays flies as a freighter for FedEx (N803FD)
