No idea about the other one.

What about their 3 Tu-214? Any chance to see them in Air Koryo, Cubana colors? Or maybe with Rossya?
Transaero was the last airlines to operate that type.
It seems it will be the end of Tu-214 scheduled flight as I do'nt think SU will keep them
Jump to postAccording to Kommersant, it seems 5 SSJ habe been sold to western Europe customers but no indications about which airlines. They will be delivered in 2016 and the airlines's names will be known in September this year.

Not new. I made that flight last year (March 2014). It's a very nice experience. Bookable on airevents's web site. One way from 180 €, return from 340 €.
Here is the video

Belgian VLM should receive SSJ next year. I think two + ten options.
