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 It was still operational as recently as 2014, now as EX-18007, but had been withdrawn from use and stored at Fujairah a year later.

LZ-BEU passing over the lights for runway 19R. During the 1980s Balkan was one of the very few carriers that sometimes operated the Ilyushin 18 into Amsterdam. The type was not a regular though, so every visit was a treat. Pictured here is LZ-BEU, acquired by Balkan from Yemen Airways in 1984 (ex 4W-ABO). In 2000 it became EX-75427 with Daallo Airlines, and following a brief spell with GR Avia as 3X-GEZ in 2008, it was broken up in 2009.
