Rear side view of a white, large twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is a thick, very pale blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with green "Cathay Pacific" on the forward fuselage. There is a thick green band around the tail, with a thick, white brush stroke resembling a flying bird in the middle, a design repeated in a smaller form under the cockpit. An array of blue and white or yellow and white planes are lined up, facing in various directions in the background. Rows of trees stretch across the rear of the frame, marking the edge of the airfield, under grey skies.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane has large, blue, billboard-style "SpanAir" titles on the forward fuselage, and orange and blue waves on the tail, a design repeated on the engine pods. The registration "EC-FTT" is on the lower rear fuselage in black. Large patches of grass with grey tarmac surrounds line the sides of various taxiways in the foreground and background, with trees and large grey fuel tanks in the distance, under murky grey skies.
