Etihad Airways Boeing 787-9 · A6-BLV

About This Photo

The primary subject of the image is an Etihad Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft parked at a gate at an airport. The aircraft is oriented facing directly forward, positioned nose-in towards the passenger boarding bridge connected to the front left door, showing the front fuselage, nose, cockpit windows, and engines clearly. The distinctive Etihad livery includes a white and light grey body with the word "ETIHAD" prominently displayed in both English and Arabic on the side of the fuselage, along with the UAE flag near the front. The engines are large turbofans typical of the 787 model, and the aircraft’s landing gear is extended, firmly on the concrete apron. In the background, there is an American Airlines Boeing 777 or 787 with the recognizable red, white, and blue striped tail design taxiing or parked, and a Cathay Pacific aircraft with its dark green tail featuring a brushwing logo visible on the right side. The airport features a control tower with radar and communication equipment, various ground lighting poles, and red and white safety barricades. The weather is overcast with a mostly cloudy sky, and the lighting suggests daylight but not direct sunlight. The runway and taxiway surface is concrete with visible markings and some areas of darker patches suggesting wet or previously wet conditions. Mountains can be faintly seen in the distance under the hazy sky, and several ground service vehicles and equipment are present along the apron. The airport terminal building extends to the left with multiple jet bridges visible.
