After 14 years with Onur Air, this MD was acquired by Bukovyna Airlines in April 2011, who in turn leased it out to Taban Air as UR-CIY. Many of Bukovyna's 26 of the type were leased to Iranian operators, which caused them to be targeted by US sanctions. Early 2021, they also lost their Ukrainian license. This pretty jetliner escaped though, by becoming EP-TBD already in August 2013.
