Side view of a white and blue , twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Air Transat" titles on the forward fuselage. The rear fuselage is dark blue, with the pale blue outline of a star on the tail. Greetings in various languages and colours are scattered across the rear fuselage - "Welcome", Welkom", Bienvenue", and many more similar sentiments. The registration "C-GPAT" is on the lower rear fuselage in black. Pale grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engine mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, flying from left to right at a very low altitude with the undercarriage extended and the flaps deployed from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red and green bands running diagonally from the mid-cabin windows and under the body. There are black "PGA" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller "Portugalia Airlines" just below. The white engine pods have small black "ERJ145" titles. The plane has black "PGA" titles under half of a yellow sunburst in front of a diagonal red and green stripe. Pale blue skies with fluffy white clouds fill the background.
