This one is interesting enough. I've found the airport but I've got no idea where the picture was taken. It's an airport I've not been to & neither Google nor Apple Maps show the glass construction. The terminal and tower are a match, as are the stairs (which were a bit of a red herring...)




Look forward to more pictures.

I figured out RIX just now as well after a bit of a painful search. It's not an AF or KL destination so my wish is that codeshares are always identified up front. The stairs actually gave it away for me.

I did post RIX earlier, but noted that it was a codeshare and that my girlfriend had just recently flow from there on a KL plane (HV ticket with equipment swap)

In which right-hand drive country did some ex-Interjet A320 end up...

Hm seems a left driving country. With a MEA jet. Can't figure it out with the MEA list of destinations...Let us throw in Karachi although doesn't really fit well with maps.

The Interjet can be everywhere. Sure, they went to a select number of other airlines but this may be during a transfer from Mexico to the new owner.....

There is a good reason the registrations on both planes are made invisible....

It's not Karachi, but it's not time for a clue yet

Pretty sure this is it. A very mean riddle - PIA dry leasing MEA and Interjet A320s and keeping them in original livery. Water tower (?) and some small ATC building can be found if you look westwards from the apron, see below.

It dawned upon me I had to look for a MEA plane in Skyteam livery and then the info I found the plane with that registration was moved on to PIA...found elsewhere info PIA also got Interjet A320s...which then begged for putting Pakistani airports in.

Correct. Flew on the Interjet one. For some reason the interior has been fully replaced but the plane hasn't been repainted.

I knew that there are only a handful of MEA destinations not served by AFKL and only one is right-hand drive (Cyprus). I then noticed the registration on both blacked out so clearly had to look elsewhere. Pakistan was an obvious choice, when I found that PK has taken some interesting dry-leases.
