Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway with the rear panel of one of the engines slid back, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with large gold "Emirates" titles in English on the upper forward fuselage, between the 2 rows of passenger windows, and smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further back, over the wings. A waving United Arab Emirates flag (red vertical bar on the left, with equal green, white, and black stripes on the right) covers the tail and part of the rear fuselage. Golden calligraphic art made up of the characters that make up the airlines Arabic name adorns the engine pods, the cowling of the inner engines split as the rear portion has moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers. Another runway stretches across the foreground, lined by green grass, while a pair of large grey hangars dominate the background, under pale blue-grey sky.

Another dark and light blue stripe is on the side of the white up-turned wingtips. Rather damp black apron fills most of the foreground, with a large patch of grass in the bottom left corner. More grass, interspersed with taxiways and a runway, are visible in the background, behind a tall lighting tower in the middle of the frame, and a blue jet airliner on the right. Trees and tall buildings meet grey sky in the distance.Side view of a twin engined jet airliner, with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "KLM CityHopper" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a stylised dark blue crown above the "KLM" part. The dark blue registration "PH-KZB" is on the upper rear fuselage, slightly in front of small Netherlands and EU flags, just ahead of the white engine pods. A dark blue band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with diagonal white "CityHopper" titles along the leading edge. Damp black apron fille the foreground and most of the background,, with a green patch of grass on the bottom right corner, and more strips of grass marking taxiways towards the top of the frame.

A small Jordanian flag is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rear cabin windows, in front of the rear door. The silver registration "JY-AGA" is on the front of the centre engine intake above the rear fuselage, and a large golden crown on the black tail, with a red stripe right at the top. Black apron fills the foreground, with another 3 engined airliner with a blue body and a white and blue tail on the left of the background. Grass and taxiways fill the rest of the background, with trees in the distance being swallowed up in grey haze.Side view of a twin engined jet airliner, with the white engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by a white tug attached to the nosewheel by a long yellow pole. The plane is largely white, with the silver outline of a leaping lion filling the forward fuselage, and mauve "British World" titles on the upper rear, as well as mauve partial registration "G-OBW" in front of the engine pods on the lower rear. A diagonal mauve band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with another silver leaping lion on the tail. Damp grey apron fills the foreground, with large grassed areas with scattered taxiways filling the background. In the distances, a 3 engined jet airliner is flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, flaps extended behind the wings, and the nose pointing slightly down, suggesting that it is about to land on a black runway. Trees and tall buildings are slowly being lost in haze at the top of the frame.
