Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left onto a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a red rear fuselage and tail. There are grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller grey text "Airways" below. The black registration "HB-JVO" is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the rear cabin door. There is a large white cross on the red tail, as well as on the red up-turned wingtips. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a light blue, with a white belly, and red "TUI" titles on the forward fuselage. The white registration ""G-TAWM" is on the upper rear fuselage next to a small British flag. The tail is a slightly different pale blue, with a red smiley face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I". This same design appears of the upturned wingtips. The white engine pods under the wings have the black web address "TUI.com". Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway surrounded by grass. The plane is mostly white, with a pale green-bluebelly, which sweeps up to fill most of the tail. There are pale, green-blue, billboard-style "FlyNas" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller titles between the cockpit and the forward door. Additional titles in an Arabic script are on the upper rear fuselage, with the black registration "CS-TFZ" below. A grey runway lined by green grass stretches across the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a blue and white light aircraft visible under this plane on the right of the frame, and a white high-winged airliner on the left, with another pair of large jet aircraft in the distance, under layered grey-whiter clouds.
