MIR 2 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Its a North Korean Airline. They operate weekly flights from Pyongyang to Beijing, Macau, Shenyang and Vladivostok. An Air Koryo Tu-134 was in KUL a few months back. But your photo looks like a B757 Air Koryo ??? Couldn't be.. Western a/c ?? Its a Tupolev Tu-204-300, the only one and latest in their fleet..

MIR 2 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 I was curious about it. How many Tu-204 in their fleet,and where do they fly it? Currently only 1 in their fleet, and 1 on order. Fitted with 8 business class seats and 145 economy seats. I heard that they will be flying it to Moscow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIR 2 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 Looks like the Tu-204 is in between an IL-76 and IL-96 Cubana Airlines (Red & Blue Tail).. Long way from Havana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 MIR, AN-124 on one side and Cubana TU-204 on other side, same winglets...no IL-76 in these two pictures. Engines of TU-204 are RR-clones and look very similar, actually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
