Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a white body with a grey belly, and 3 thin blue stripes running along the lower fuselage, with red "Air Malta titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail has a red top half, with the bottom being white, separated by 3 thin blue stripes. A large white Maltese Cross is in the middle of the red part of the tail, a design repeated in a square on the side of the white engine pods. Green grass lines the taxiway at the bottom of the frame, and runs off into the distance in the background, slowly vanishing into grey haze.
