Its just the demo plane flying around with new stickers on it.
For some reason they like to do that. Sibir had prototype Tu-204's that they got from the Vnukovo merger, Dalava has one Tu-214 that is actually the first demo plane. Aeromist had a prototype An-140 which was crashed by Antonov factory pilots on a customer demo flight.
This only means that they want a really good test session but they dont own the plane. Antonov will take it to airshows when they want to show it, so it isnt really useful for regular service
