Side view of a white twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long white pole. The plane is mostly white, with a blue rear fuselage and tail, with a yellow band around the rear fuselage. There are black "Ukraine International" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a yellow and blue Ukrainian flag, while the black registration "UR-GAE" is on the upper rear fuselage. There is a yellow circle in the middle of the blue tail, containing a stylised blue flying bird. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a couple of men walking alongside the planes nose as it is being pushed backwards. More concrete apron stretches off into the distance in the background, with several white planes parked in the top left corner.
