Does anyone know the fonts (both arabic and english) used in the Gulf Air logo?

- Gulf Air uses the commercial font 'Mosquito'

Untitled[edit]

I have a list of a couple of there names if you need me to put them in — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous9878 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abu Dhabi[edit]

The article seems to imply that there are no flights to anywhere from Abu Dhabi apart from to Muscat or Bahrain when, as far as I am aware, there are still quite a number to regional and longer haul destinations (someone please correct me if i'm wrong). ARTooD2 23:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Gulf Air do not fly to any destination from Abu Dhabi apart from Bahrain and Muscat. This is due to the withdrawl of Abu Dhabi as an owner state in 2005. This was effective with the new summer schedule (2006) which was introduced on the 28th March 2006.

This article is about Gulf Air and includes reference to the relationship between the airline and Abu Dhabi Airport (AUH). A list of airlines flying from Abu Dhabi International Airport should help you to find details of destinations from this airport by clicking on the link.

Ah...If they have changed the timetable that will be why. I know Abu Dhabi withdrew it was just that last time I was at AUH there were still a lot of Gulf Air flights but that was in February. ARTooD2 20:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Livery[edit]

Can somebody explain the logic between the three colors used in the old Gulf Air's tail? - InTeGeR13 19:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It represented the colours of the original owner states of the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.

incidents[edit]

Just recently, didn't Gulf Air have an incident at MNL where an A340 was denied permission to land despite it being low on fuel? You may want to add this to the incidents and accidents section if this were true. --124.106.133.97 09:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

good call! here's a link about the "event"... [1] i didn't know it had happened, but it should definitely be added to the "incidents" list. 87.201.173.224 (talk) 07:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC) rhetoric[reply]

Looks too much like publicity[edit]

I think that a style change in this article would help a lot, looks like an ad from Gulf Air. Smlbstcbr (talk) 17:20, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Early history[edit]

There is very little mention of the earlier history of GF when it was under BA Associated Companies. When I arrived in Bahrain in approx 1960 it still had the two Doves, but also approx six DC3's. The two Doves were retired and replaced with two Beech Queenair's (B80's). Then we acquired two Fokker Friendships (F27 turboprops), then one BAC 1-11 (our first jet).

The routes I flew were: Bahrain, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Muscat and back. Also to Dharan and Kuwait City, and to Shiraz.

We also did charter flights for ADPC (Abu Dhabi Petroleum Company) into the Empty Quarter and to Salalah.

Hope this helps! Lungtaworld (talk) 21:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gulf Aviation 1949 - 1973[edit]

I've created an article for Gulf Aviation. Plse let me have any additional information on out-of-service dates for the Gulf Aviation fleet that transferred to Gulf Air. Simon Woodhead (talk) 09:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didnt see your note here and reverted your change, can you please use an edit summary, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 11:06, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very sorry but I cannot help beyond what I wrote above. I left and joined British Caledonian and my log books referring to that period and after are lost in the sands of the desert. I was a lot younger than the Captains I flew with and they will possibly moved on to that aerodrome in the sky. My apologies! Lungtaworld (talk) 22:48, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lungtaworld - thanks. Still learning how to drive wikipedia! My involvement with Gulf Aviation was from 1967 onwards so a few questions you may be able to help with: (a) were the Herons still in service during your time? Haven't yet found comprehensive references that show accurately when the original types (Anson, DH Express, DH Dove, DH Heron) came into and/or left service. (b) any idea when service to Riyadh started? I know the 1-11s went there from at least the early 70s but cannot find reference to scheduled service, so they may have been routing via Riyadh on Hadjj flights. (c) any idea on when scheduled ops to Salalah started? Simon Woodhead (talk) 13:59, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I heard rumors of an accidental missle shootdown of a Gulf Air plane before I arrived in the UAE in 1988[edit]

I worked in the the Gulf from 1988 to 1993. I heard rumors of an accidental missle shootdown of a Gulf Airline flight before my arrival in 1988. Perhaps there was a crash which others tried to blame local government oversight but I wondered if anyone had anything to say about this.

During my 5 years of working in the Gulf and Arabia (UAE, Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, Saudi) I flew on nearly every local airline and always felt comfortable and relativaly safe.

Are Gulf Aviation and Gulf Air the same company?[edit]

This is currently discussed here. If so, it might result in the content of the Gulf Aviation article being merged into Gulf Air. --FoxyOrange (talk) 15:57, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like marketing[edit]

This page reads like marketing copy in places, especially in the summary paragraphs: " It is certified as a 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating by Skytrax, becoming one of just sixteen airlines and the third airline in the world and in the Middle East respectively to achieve this top recognition." 213.246.133.193 (talk) 17:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
