⚠️Super interesting, going on now: 4 ex-Turkish A340s, recently registered in 🇧🇫Burkina Faso as XT-AKK, XT-ALM, XT-AKB and XT-??? currently flying.
The first disappeared over 🇮🇷Iran -- known for avoiding aviation sanctions + A340 operator...

TC-JDM, TC-JDN, TC-JIH, TC-JII were apparently re-registered as 2-AVRA, 2-AVRB, 2-AVRC and 2-AVRD. They recently became the Burkina Faso aircraft mentioned above.

The aircraft were stored in Johannesburg back in Mar-Apr 2019, and have resided there for the past 3.5 years.
I think it's very suspicious that they disappear over Iran. I would not be surprised if these aircraft are now on their way to Iran to become part of an Iranian airline.

There we go - it can't get much clearer than this: 3 of the 4 🇧🇫 A340s from 🇿🇦Johannesburg were tracked landing in 🇮🇷Tehran, Iran.
These could go into service with Mahan Air/Syrian Air/Conviasa soon?
