Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Alastair T. Gardinger:
This 154 was delivered to the Czechoslovakian Govt. in May 1989, transferred over to the Slovaks on 1st January 1993 and placed onto the Slovak register in April 1994 as OM-BYO. It spent 4,5 years at the Aviakor factory in Samara awaiting an overhaul that finally started in Spring 2008 with the plane returning to Bratislava in October. Its last flight was on 27th September 2017 from Bratislava to Košice for preservation at the wonderful Múzeum Letectva Košice.

I could find a few information about this airframe.
Built in 1987 and until 2002 I don't know who owned that airplane.
In 2002 Balkan Bulgaria bought it as LZ-HMH.
Until 2006 it was owned by Hemus Air as LZ-BTH.
In 2006 it was reregistred as UP-T5407 and is flying with that registration.
According to a source it is still active...
