Jump to postThat logic is indeed not correct. The engine nacelle has various moint points.
If the right hand side has a mount point, to oppositie site will have one as well.
So I guess we cannot conclude based on this photo if it is the left or right nacelle.
The word is 'mount point' as seen on this picture.

@MH017:
THY operated a couple of Airbus A340 flights to Amsterdam instead of the regular A310 because one of the THY A310 Freighters was in maintenance. This A310F normally operates to Maastricht. The A340 was used to transport the cargo which is normally transported by the A310 Freighter.
Corendon has started it's own operation with a single Boeing 737-300 TC-TJA.
The flightnumber code is CAI.
The aircraft is used for the scheduled service between Amsterdam and Istanbul. Corendon charter passengers are still carried by Onur Air.
