I just saw the photo below on Airliners.net, and the fact that Syrianair still operates the TU-134 – some even in their new livery – came up. Does anyone know on which routes they fly the TU-134? Most European flights seem to be by A320 nowadays, even the 727 is history here…

Hans, according to the latest info that I have the Syrian Tu-134s are confined mainly to other Middle Eastern routes and certain parts of Eastern Europe. They also operate a number of “Govt” flights as well. As Tu134s go these airframes are not that old, and when I saw one at the old Athens airport just before it closed, it looked in very good and clean condition. I don’t think that they have amassed anywhere near the hours that most Tu-134s have done.
Cheers! 🙂

They seem to be the kind that operate alot of classics, they also operate B747SPs into MAN and LHR.
