Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage. The plane is mostly white, with a red/green/red stripe running along the body, the upper red part sweeping up over the tail-mounted engine, with the registration "7T-VEP". There are red "AIR ALGERIE" titles on the upper fuselage, in English above the wings, and in an Arabic script further forward. The side-mounted engines have a natural metal finish, with black "Boeing 727" titles. The tail is white, with the red outline of a circle, with the stylised image of a red flying bird in the middle. In the background, a grey metal barrier with alternating white and rad bands on the top runs from the middle left of the frame towards the centre, with some baggage carts parked behind it, with another parking area for vehicles at the top of the frame, next to a low grey building.
