October 2019 1130
Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, received its seventh Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner at Dulles International Airport in Washington DC, recently.
The event, which took place ahead of Gulf Air’s 70th anniversary, was attended by the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, and Chairman of Gulf Air’s Board of Directors, Zayed R. Alzayani, and the US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur L. Ross.
The new Dreamliner will join the fleet by the end of this month, increasing the total number of Dreamliners operated by the airline to seven aircraft following the delivery of three more by 2021.
In 2018, Gulf Air launched its new brand identity at the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix and introduced its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
