Definitely much better choice in the scheme of this page Would have loved to have a TU-154 from Air Bashkortostan; sadly they don't operate any. Their predecessor, BAL Bashkirian Airlines did, though they didn't have the 'Stan (Bashkortostan) in English, but rather only in Cyrillic script "Авиакомпания Башкортостан" on their aircraft. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.

It seems like it.

They have a new livery. Well, that IS the current livery, not a new one. My idea was to have pics of Soviet built metal (see above exchange with Nimish) & I didn't find a TU-154 in those colors. The merger with AK Bars Aero is due in mid 2012 so this is not indicative of future name/livery. Also, would you mind posting a smaller pic (if you really have to) so that it fits in the page width. Thanks. _________________ 11000 posts (and counting) on Airliners-India.

I think the word is of Persian origin. But no, I doubt any of them know about its provenance. _________________ four years free of jetya punti!
