This aircraft became the first Boeing 737-300 in the airline's fleet and has been in operation since June 2008. Over its years of service, the aircraft spent 31,463 hours in the sky and performed 17,173 flights.
A few weeks before the presentation of Belavia's new livery in 2016, it was EW-254PA that first received the cornflower on its tail – a symbol that is well-recognized today.
Among the distinctive features of this aircraft is a built-in airstair near the left passenger doors, allowing boarding and disembarking without the need for additional ground equipment.
