Gulf Air Registration

[DAIRD]

Was in FRA today, we had little sunshine. And the new Gulf Air Formular One A330 (A9C-KB) also. Now, while processing the pictures, I see registration has changed from A4O to A9C. Does anybody knows why?

Hey DAIRD.

The Kingdom's national carrier, Gulf Air, has successfully completed Bahraini registration of all its 30 aircraft in less than three months' time.

"It is a proud moment for all of us at Gulf Air, the Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority and the citizens of the Kingdom, as Gulf Air is now a Bahraini company in every sense of the word," says Mr. Björn Näf.

After the official announcement of Gulf Air becoming a fully-owned Bahraini company, registration of its aircraft under BCAA began in mid-September 2007. The first aircraft, Flight GF056, under the Bahraini registration A9C-LB, flew to Mumbai, India on its maiden voyage on 14 September.
