Different perspectives to my normal Malaga Airport shots, but being from inside the terminal or an aircraft, some distortion or reflection
 is inevitable no matter how much care is taken.

N522NR an executive Boeing 737BBJ2, parked on the long-term overflow apron



Also on the overflow executive apron was this Global 5000 N724MF.



Embraer Praetor 600 D-BOSS on taxi from landing to the main business/executive jet apron.



G-JZBV Boeing 737-85P in Jet2's blue and white scheme. The Dove has been in that location for many years. The 4 aircraft recently moved by RFFS to the south boundary are to the right of this picture.



EasyJet Europe's Airbus A.319 OE-LQF approaching the gate next to my loading City Flyer Embraer



Turkish A.321 TC-JTM on taxi-out ahead of us.



It is not too often that I see a Lufthansa Airbus A.319 at Malaga, D-AIBE.



An executive aircraft parked on freight was one I've seen at Malaga before 9H-EROES a Global 6000.



The opposite view to normal, from a taxiing aircraft looking up at my favourite spot for photography en route to a runway 13 departure.



Already Airbourne, looking south at the new RFFS 'dump' of aircraft, moved from beside the main fire station tower to this new location.
The long serving Dove is still there, a little further on. The new location can be seen from the terminal, but is hidden around a corner
from the Churriana viewing position.

MALAGA (AGP/LEMG)

Tuesday 4th June 2024 on arrival 2050-2100, just those identified on the taxi in.

EC-NOM	Airbus A.320-214	Volotea 	        SE-RTI	Boeing 737MAX8  	Norwegian, white fin, portrait rudder
EC-NOR	Airbus A.320-216	Volotea         	T7-DAL	Global 6000     	exec, parked on freight

EI-IHW	Boeing 737MAX8	        Ryanair, from Edinburgh 9H-NCC	ATR-72-600      	Iberia Regional, white
EI-SIL	Airbus A.320-251N	SAS		        and a Canadian Global/Challenger, also parked on freight	
G-EXUH	Airbus A.320-232	British Airways		plus several more airliners and a Portuguese C.295 over on military ramp.

Already an hour late due to a delayed incoming aircraft at Edinburgh, we were then faced with a 75 minutes slow snaking shuffle through to passport control. Not the greatest start to a holiday for many! As a result it was dark by the time I emerged from the terminal, so collected the car and drove directly home.

Some distortion and loss of focus evident shooting through aircraft windows in evening light, on arrival at Malaga:



Beyond regular ATR-72-600 9H-NCC are two biz-jets parked on the freight apron. Nearest is T7-DAL a Global 6000, while the one behind has a Canadian flat on the fin.



With the low sun warming the colours on this SAS Airbus A.320 EI-SIL.



A new operator to me is Hi Sky with a Romanian registered Boeing 737-800 YR-SUN in an attractive colour scheme. Note on the left, the Norwegian fin, in white, with a portrait rudder fitted. Have they had to change the rudder already on an only few years old MAX, or did they never the get the opportunity to complete applying the decal to the fin as well as the rudder?



Boeing 737-800 C-COWG in partial scheme with Smartwing titles applied, but including on the winglets.



One that has been around for some years is Aer Lingus's Airbus A.320 EI-DVM in retro scheme. Not sure if I have ever caught this one before, so one for record even though not a great composition and lacks sharpness.
