My trip to LTAI was somewhat marred because the best runway for ground pictures (36R/18L) was closed for electrical maintanance, therefore, I reluctantly took some departure shots to avoid coming away with nothing. Here, UT784 is pictured climbing out from rw36 at the start of the flight to Moscow (VKO). This plane is an old friend as it was originally delivered to Ryanair as EI-CSZ in July 2002. It went on to fly with Atlant-Soyuz Airlines and Moscow Airlines (as VQ-BCH) before joining UTair as VQ-BJH in July 2011, and acquiring its Russian registration in March 2022.

Ex-Ryanair (EI-CSZ), later flew for Moscow Airlines then for UTAir Aviation (RA-73086).

On approach to Runway 31 at Prestwick. Displaying the slogan "Arrivederchi Alitalia !"marking Ryanair's further route expansion into Italy. Delivered new to Ryanair in 2002, leaving in 2009 to become VQ-BCH with Atlant-Soyuz Airlines, then transferred to Moscow Airlines. Joined UTair Aviation in 2011 as VQ-BJH, changing to RA-73086 in 2022.

Current as RA-73086, UTair (at time of upload)

Became VQ-BCH with Atlant-Soyuz Airlines and Moscow Airlines. Now VQ-BJH with UTair

Operated by Ryanair from new in 07.02 until 11.08. To VQ-BCH with Atlant-Soyuz.

Wore 'Arrivederci Alitalia' logos on the port side only. Became VQ-BCH in November 2008.

Ex-VQ-BCH, EI-CSZ

These 738's are nice with the titles but hopefully RYR will paint up a few into full Logojets once the 732s have been phased out.

With Ryanair's ever growing fleet of 737's it is becoming more difficult to photograph the occasional one with additional titles like this aircraft.
