During the 1990s Balkan operated this sombre coloured former LOT Ilyushin (ex SP-LSF) on their freight flights, with very small and rather worn 'Bulgarian Airlines' titles. They never bothered to paint it in their colours, because the aircraft didn't do much flying and spent most of its time in storage at Varna. They disposed of it in 1998, and became EL-ALD, then EX-601. It was still operational as recently as 2014, now as EX-18007, but had been withdrawn from use and stored at Fujairah a year later.
