Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked at an airport terminal, facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with an aquamarine and blue stripe running along the body, the blue part covering the passenger windows on the main deck. There are blue "Air new Zealand" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a New Zealand flag. The tail is mostly blue, outlined with a thin aquamarine stripe on the top and white at the bottom, with a pair of stylised white waves in the middle. Yellow baggage loaders litter the grey concrete ramp in the foreground, some connected to open hatches in the lower fuselage. In the background, another very large jet airliner with a similar shape, but with a dark blue tail with a dark blue stylised flying bird in a yellow circle in the middle, with dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Beyond that plane, a general view across the airfield sees extensive areas of green grass separated by taxiways and runways, with planes and buildings in the distance, under grey skies.
