United Arab Emirates: Airmail labels

These were sent to me from the United Arab Emirates. I never seen these labels on letters before, but I'm assuming they are the current ones as they are self-adhesive. They are from a pad, with strips of 12 labels.

Year: ?, Self-Adhesive.

South Africa: Airmail labels

These labels come on a pad, with 10 labels on a strip. I'm not sure how many are on a pad as mine is not complete, but I think it is 100. The design is current.

Year: ?, Gummed.

Cook Islands: Older Airmail label

This is an older airmail label from Cook Islands. The label is from the island Rarotonga, which according to Wikipedia is the most populous island.

Nowadays the Cook Islands doesn't have their own airmail label, instead they use the same ones as New Zealand.

I recently traded with someone over at postcrossing and they sent me some different labels from Switzerland. :)
