Lots of elegant twin jets on regular services from and to Kish Island. The home carrier has been using 14 different MD-82s/-83s. This one had been adorned with Kish Summer Festival colours for just three months, directly prior to the photo date.

Alitalia used this bird for 16 years starting June 1994, and Bulgarian Air Charter for the Summer of 2010. In October that year it became EK-82224 with Ararat Int'l and Kish Air the following month. EP-registration acquired in June 2011 and alive and kicking at the upload date.
