The plane is shown in a lateral profile view, flying in a straight, level orientation as it approaches for landing or low altitude flight over water. The aircraft has its gear extended, confirming that it is preparing to land. The white fuselage features the red "Air Mauritius" text and a red stylized bird logo near the front, with a distinct red tail and rear fuselage section displaying diagonal white stripes. Secondary subjects include several industrial boats and barges on the water below the aircraft, one with a yellow and rust-colored crane structure, indicating marine construction or dredging activity.
