The flights being operated by Traveller were in fact in operation by mainline prior to Traveller being established, so other than the extra seats being avilable on the aircraft, can't see how this could be a problem..since the AUH govt is a partner in Gulf Air, thus Traveller by default, and Traveller seems to in fact be in demand, then how could they be upset at the increased revenues? Duty free...there seems to be no shortage of duty free bags in the overhead lockers on traveller flights.
