For my pleasure the second operational Boeing 707-300C Re´em of Israeli Air Force with number 272 finally visited Bratislava today. It was here last time in March 2024, when I was of course abroad.
Although the volume of air cargo between China and Hungary have decreased, YTO Cargo Airlines now operates to Budapest from relatively small Chinese airport Jiaxing, hence the additional red title on the forward fuselage.
Also the second B777-300SF of Hungary Airlines is operated by Fly Meta and flies usually between Zhengzhou or Hong Kong and Budapest. Unlike the first aircraft 9H-GLG carries different livery in gold colour.
Israir recently added first two A330-200s into its fleet, ex American Airlines. And it chose updated livery only in blue colour. Aircraft 4X-BAK appeared in Budapest on 16 August 2026, although in high summer light.
The circumnavigating of the Pakistani airspace for their mutual dispute brings some Air India flights to North America to Vienna for refuelling for more than a year now and the number of such flights continuously decreases. However, on 11 August 2026 finally the first B787-9 Dreamliner in new Air India livery stopped at Vienna, this time on the route AI187 Delhi-Toronto.
Bratislava looked like a big international airport, when aircraft in Emirates and Etihad colours parked next to each other. However, even the latter B787-8 was a government aircraft from Abu Dhabu Emirate.
Football players of DAC Dunajská Streda will be transported for their Conference League match from Bratislava to Bosnia Herzegovina by this colourful Tyrolean Jet Services Embraer 145.
