Gulf Air E170 by R.P.Abraham
As part of their efforts to reinvent themselves, Gulf Air today announced that they have dry leased two Embraer E170AR jets for a period of three years. They will be used on regional hops and form a small part of GF’s broader fleet renewal program. As part of the same program GF will be adding five new A320s this calendar year. Given that the E170 is proving to be invaluable to three of GF’s neighbors (EgyptAir Express, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Royal Jordanian) on similar sectors, all indications are that these first two E170s will not be the last.
