Gulf Air A330 livery
 

Wondering why they are still in the 2003 livery, havent they had any checks that required full repainting into revised livery?

Couldn't even get the job done in the first place. Half the fleet in the (then) new colours, other half in the old. Ran out of money ? Interest ? Paint ? Or, oh yeah, forgot, just another botched job by incapables .

But even incapables repaint the aircraft in new look after heavy checks, if they have got a new or refreshed livery, i'm guessing they havent had such checks or they are really messed up if repainted in older look after the checks.

Ahmm ... what are you gents talking about ? Any pics, facts, to substantiate your statements ? No heavy checks done ? Dubious claims at best ... GF had and still has one of the sleekest liveries around, "old" or "new", a true trademark, often imitated, never equaled and a maintenance within required industry standards, just like any other major airline. What was your point anyway ?
