The beginning of Gulf Air dates back to 1950, when the company was founded as Gulf Aviation. Over the years, it operated some 25 different aircraft types of various sizes and numbers. Between 1973 and 1999, Gulf Air was the State carrier for Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Oman, a period the Governments of those countries held Gulf Air shares. Emerging airlines like e.g. Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways affected Gulf Air's influence, which currently operates 10 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners (A9C-FA through A9C-FJ), plus 14 Airbus 320 and 18 A321 aircraft, but is still considered a premium airline.
