Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, following a yellow line marked on a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is almost entirely blue, with large, white "Zoom" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, and smaller, white web address "WWWDotFlyZoomDotCom"on the upper mid fuselage, over the rear of the wings. The small white registration "C-GZMM" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rearmost passenger windows, just forward of a small, red and white Canadian flag, above smaller white text "Boeing 767-300ER" under those windows. Large, white, diagonal "Zoom" titles are on the blue tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a variety of jet airliners, mostly white with blue or red highlights, parked in the background, with tall lighting poles reaching into the sky scattered amongst them. Brown trees run across the frame in the distance, with buildings and rolling hills beyond that at the top of the frame, under grey-blue sky.
