Photo Comment

After returning off lease to Istanbul Airlines (ex TC-ADA), this 737 was painted for Indian carrier East West Airlines. However, the lease did not proceed as the company's CEO was murdered near his office in Mumbai in November 1995 and the airline ceased all operations a few months later. The aircraft was briefly re-registered EI-CMO and then leased to China Xinhua Airlines as B-2969 in March 1996.
