The three former Bulgaria Air BAe 146-300s have been sold to Ukraine’s UM Air — which probably means they will eventually end up in Iran. Bulgaria Air retired the three series 300s in 2012, and parked them at Sofia. LZ-HBE (msn E3131) departed Sofia for Kyiv on 3 January, followed by LZ-HBF (msn E3159) on 6 February and LZ-HBG (msn E3146) on 7 February.
