Side view of a white 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. There is a gold and red stripe running along the body just below the passenger cabin windows, with a second gold stripe just above the windows, and a reversed Bahrain flag (Large red field next to a large white field, separated by a jagged edge - normally displayed the other way around) on the tail. The registration "A9C-BA"is on the centre engine inlet in black. A black runway stretches across the bottom of the frame, separated from this plane by a strip of grass. A brown building stretches across the background, with the grey rear fuselage and tail of a very large jet airliner is on the right of the frame. Leafless trees stand out against grey sky beyond the building.

The plane has black "Avianova" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the registration "I-ATRG" in black on the lower rear. There is a large green triangle filling the tail, with a smaller red triangle outlined in white at the base, slightly resembling an upper-case letter "A". Concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large area of grass divided by a black taxiway fills the background.
