The black registration "F-HZUR" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the front of the open nose-wheel doors. There is additional black text "Airbus A220-300" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a series of diagonal blue bands, thicker by the leading edge and getting thinner as they move rearwards, with a thicker red stripe at the lower rear, as well as a small circle of gold stars of the top of the tails. There is the blue outline of a white circle, containing a stylised image of a winged blue sea-horse, in the middle of the white engine pods, repeated on the side of the forward fuselage, in between the cockpit windows and the forward door. The up-turned wing-tips are entirely dark blue. A black mesh fence topped with razor-wire stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a small group of people on this side of the fence. Grass leads up to the taxiway the plane is on, with more grass and taxiways in the background, with the rear fuselage of a white, red, and black airliner on a runway facing out of the right of the frame in the distance.
