There are dark blue and red "Augsburg Airways" titles on the lower fuselage. The tail is dark blue, with the white outline of a circle, overlaid with a red capital "A", pointing to the North-West, and vaguely resembling a runway. In the background, grassed areas are seperated by taxiways and a runway.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, a thic dark blue and thin red stripe running along the body, seperating the 2 coloured sections. There are black "Eurowings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, partially obscured by the engines, with a logo made up of a pair of stylised flying birds, a red bird with a blue bird slightly below and forward overlaid on top, with the blue bird having a very long tail that curves round in a circle. This logo is also on the tail in a larger form. The registration "D-BEEE" is prominent on the upper rear fuselage. In the background, a grey-brown building stretches across the middle of the frame, with an open grassed area split by a runway visible further back, slowly dissapearing in to haze.
