So I was travelled for another vacation in Kos Island, Greece (KGS).
These were my flights:
BZ (BlueBird Airways) TLV KGS Y M82
6H (Israir) KGS TLV Y A320
I arrived to TLV Airport at 6:40 AM and I passed the check-in and the security checks very quickly. I excepted to fly on a 734 but when I asked the check-in worker, she told me that the plane is MD83. It should be better than a boring 737-400!
I had an hour until boarding to do some spotting:
British Airways Airbus A321 before flight to London - LHR:
Arkia Embarer E195 landed from Tbilisi, Gerogia:
Boarding was little slow but made by bus:
Tarom Airbus A310 before flight to Bucarest, Romania:
Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800 before flight to Istanbul - IST:
Ukraine Boeing 737-400 before flight to Odessa, Ukriane:
An old 767-200ER of el al:
We arrived to our plane, MD83, YR-HBH that was leased from Ten Air, a charter and leasing airline from Romania:

Safety card, a bit rare!
Look about the nose of this 707!
Durning Taxi and take off it was so hot at the plane, but in the other time it was too cold at the airplane!
After Take off, over Bat Yam's coast:
Over the sea!
Cabin was dirty and too much old and it was ex-spanair as the signs in Spanish
Can you see the differents?
The cabin again:
The rare exit between the engines:
The Romanian cabin crew was really nice and we served by soft drinks. It was great to chat with one of them.
Landing in KGS after 1h 20m of flying:
Austrian Airlines Airbus A319 before departure to Vienna, Austria:
BB an amazing MD83!
Exotic plane/airline! The plane looked a little dirty to me. Was it? Also, Is BlueBird good?
Flightreport.com manegement, If you're reading this. Please add safair to your list of airlines. I'm flying with them, and doing a report soon, I think.
Thanks for reporting this flight,
This flight is not what can be expected normally,
Old MD80, ex-Spanair plane, romanian crew in a greek plane :)
I love pics from TLV, really beautiful city
See you
Thank you very much for this interesting report on a very rare airline
Wow that cabin looks so disgusting to me. Some lights are not even working. If this aircraft is maintained as as worse as it is cleaned this is scary.
But thank you for this report!
Thanks for this unique report on an exotic airline and rare aircraft (in Europe, anyway, not here in the US).
Is the 707 in TLV an Israeli military plane?
And yikes, that Mad Dog looks ancient inside and out!
Thanks for sharing!
