BH Air - Balkan Holidays Air (8H, Sofia) will add a first A330-200 to its books with the arrival of ex-Jordan Aviation (R5, Amman Queen Alia) machine, JY-JAJ (cn 255) according to Aerotransport. The Bulgarian scheduled operator currently employs two A319-100s and three A320s and it is believed the A330 will be used on longhaul flights to the United States should the carrier secure the necessary traffic rights.
The addition of the A330 will mark the first time a Bulgarian carrier has used an in-house widebody jet since Balkan Bulgarian Airlines (Sofia) operated two French-registered B767-200(ER)s, msn 24832 and 24854, up until the late 1990s.
