Emergency is an Italian NGO, offering life support for civilian war victims (as indicated by the titles). The aircraft also carries very small blue "Operated by Aeroportul Internațional Mărculești" titles. This 1988 built An-72 was delivered to the Soviet AF as CCCP-72933, it was transferred as ER-72933 to Moldovan AF in 1994. The Vichi Air Company, an asset of the Moldavan AF, used the aircraft as ER-AFZ from 2000 to 2003. In Sep 2003 the air force took it back as 72933, but from Mar 2004 the An-72 was "civil" owned again with AIM. That company -still with links to the military- lost its AOC in 2007.
