Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage stowed, flaps extended behind the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off.
The plane is mostly white, with a deep purple belly the sweeps up toward the top of the rear fuselage, bright yellow rear fuselage, and deep purple web address "monarch.co.uk" on the forward fuselage, covering the forward cabin windows.
The black registration "G-OZBU" is on the lower rear fuselage, with a stylised black crown that more than resembles an upper case letter "M" on the white tail.
Blue sky fills the rest of the frame, with a fluff of white cloud in the bottom left corner.

The registration "G-EZBI" is on the lower rear fuselage in white, and under the left wing in black.
The engine pods under the wings, as well as the flap track covers, are also bright orange.
Pale grey-blue sky fills the background.

Speaking to Sky News, Green MP Sian Berry lambasted the government over their failure to learn from the planning process:

What was the point in them engaging with this month’s long planning process… and some fierce conditions out of the recommendations from the examiner only for the Secretary of State to spend months in secret meetings with Gatwick Airport, discussing these conditions and finding a fudge on every single one.

I’m outraged by this, and it really shows that this Labour Government is no kind of green government, and in many ways worse than the Conservatives.

Does London need ANOTHER extra runway? The contempt for locals is hilarious. Part of the 'mitigation' is to pay just the estate agent fees for people who have to sell their now worthless homes.

#Gatwick expansion a ‘no brainer’ according to a government spokesperson. More like a ‘no brains’ – all the extra CO2, pollution and noise are just going to magically disappear?

Good news for people who want to fly more from the south of England in the short term.

Bad news for people who would quite like the south of England still to be above sea level in the medium term.

Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner, with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left at a damp and dismal airport.
The plane is mostly white, with a pair of red stripes on the lower forward fuselage, with red "Baltic International" titles on the upper forward fuselage.
The red registration "YL-BAE" is on the engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, complete with a small Latvian flag.
The tail has a black and white line drawing of a rampant lion with a golden mane, holding a golden shield outlined in white, with a white letter "B" in the middle, and 3 golden stars at the top.
Wet, grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a couple of brick buildings stretching across the middle of the frame in the background.
There are more buildings in the distance on the right of the frame, with a couple of cargo planes parked outside, with trees filling the distance on the left, under dreary grey sky.
