Gulf Air to receive the First B787-9 April 2018

Can a dream come true and Gulf Air starts competing with other Airlines in the region ?

Getting a new plane which was ordered due to political pressures does not signal any sort of revival of fortunes for GF.

In any case their 330s are all approaching the 20 year mark and are due to be replaced, replacement does not equal expansion.

I heard a lot of talk over in the Simulator building more than a year ago about 787 coming this year. Now its April 2018. I heard other comments like were do they plan to go and there was no training plans yet etc. I also heard comments about GF wont own them Parabellum so who knows.

True,Some say they wont believe it till i see the aircraft parked.. i heard that they sent some maintenance guys for training other than that nothing! no real fleet management and dont forget the shortage on 320 pilots!!
