i think the point is amount of "emergencies". i think it is obvious we have older fleet than all other ME airlines therefore more problems.

Can't have been A9C-AD as it was in Norwich last night painted in Bahrain flag livery!

The hydraulic failure aircraft was A9C-ED.

what have they done to the font they used for the name? It's terrible .
Need a day time pic as Gold and Red doesn't really go that well...unless its a crimson kind then it will look good.
Shame they had to touch the livery when to many other things should be fixed.

The new "chicken" on the tail looks ugly and cartoonish too. But what the heck-- everybody said changes were needed at Gulf Air!

not bad.because the livery shows that the airline actually belongs to Bahrain.
And why is the code share between GF and AA is suspended?

Yes, it looks exactly like the new font on the new deliveries.

So what's your point?

SUX is an understatement !!!

quite bloody dreadful !!! if those are the true colours, what a clash none of it blends in ...... they must be colour blind as well as totally disfunctional in the pink palace.

They took one of the best paint jobs in the industry and screwed it up. I would think Gulf Air had more pressing concerns then messing up a great livery.Good luck to all you guys over there.

Could it be a 6 year old's interpretation of the 'flight of the phoenix' by any chance?
