    The memories 😢 This is one of my favorite videos. I used to watch it when I was 4 years old with my older sister. I'm now 15. Thank you for making my childhood so much fun with these aviation videos. My dream is to become an Emirates A380 pilot.

    This video brings back many good memories of working as a pilot for Gulf Air in Bahrain. I flew their B-767, A-320/321, and the A-330 for many years. It was a nice working atmosphere. Good old days. Ma-asalama Gulf Air.

    When I was 7 years old then I started watching this video and sometime I still watch this videoduring the leisure time. Anyway, the most significant thing that is to notice in the video is " Emirates", in that time this airlines had A330 -200 aircraft only for about one and half hour duration route, and today whole the world knows that it is the queen of Aviation with more than 100 Airbus a380 aircrafts.

    First flew Gulf Air in 1979 from LHR to CDG on a brillant TriStar and the servcie was fabulous even on this 45mn flight ! Then many times between HKG/BKK to CDG ! At this time GF ruled the Arabian skies before EK, QR and EY arrives ! Too bad GF didn't keep up with the competition !!

    @hmasurg But unlike SV, GF is a small airline that with good management can be turned around quite faster than a giant like SV...concentrating on transit-pax from India to Europe/USA..the GF/AA connection at monster-airport Heathrow?..more A330 into India..also Manila is a big GF destination..huge demand for pino-servants in the gulf..GF seems to have lost the competing edge..no advertisment or innovation.

    @hmasurg Thanks for sharing BAH is a cute nice small airport in the arabian gulf the only problem with it is that is not prepared to the high level of air traffic movement and i loved the united 777 so beautiful but i was wondering does UAL operate flights to RUH and JED and the KAC in this video is much better and beautiful than the first and hope to see videos inside the plane ;) !!!

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 11 лет назад

    Thats true..I have head some very good deals in GF businessclass to India and Manila..Emirates tend to be more expensive...pinos and bangladeshi are prominet GF passangers but GFs route net is diminishing..they cut routes(Hongkong,Manila,Shanghai,Athens,etc)...

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 13 лет назад

    @hmasurg SIA success story is its management..as is Emirates..mind you when Emirates was born, the dominant airline in the Gulf area was Gulfair..Emirates was created to break gulfairs dominance and give more flights to Dubai who was then (1985) a backwater, an airport where asian and european carriers landed at 0200-0300 in the morning, on the way to/from Europe/Asia. The emir of dubai even locked the gulfair employees out of their downtown office for a while. If the only trick is cheaper

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 13 лет назад

    @hmasurg B77W is an ultra longhaul bird...GF routes today can be handled by the 330, the longest are 7-8hours..GF has a weird fleet policy..GF is looking more and more like PANAM..from a dominant gulf-carrier(1985) to an old and bypassed airline in the shadow of EK and QR..my choice flying with them was the price....everything else they are left behind..Bahrain is a nice city but you feel that it is a place of the 1970S boom in oil..

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 13 лет назад

    @hmasurg say Karachi or Bombay when Emirates have multiple B777S and A330 to such huge destination..around the clock..mayby Im wrong,mayby there are more pax out of Dubai. Also the schedule must be revamped so flights connect..there are many pakistanis in Athens but the GF flight from Athens have problems connecting with GF small A320S to Lahore or Karachi or Rawalpindi, and bigger problems getting a decent fare..mind you some periods of the year there are no tickets from Athens to Subcontinent

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 13 лет назад

    Gulf air should concentrate on a fleet of A330, their A340S are falling apart. But nothing helps if IFE doesn t work...Bahrain is in my eyes a slightly older airport in these days of mega/super airports.

    @OjojoHK Many migrant workers living in Saudi, fly to Bahrain to take their flights to Asia & Europe - why, coz. Bahrain airport offers lower landing fees.

  • @hmasurg
    @hmasurg  12 лет назад

    @zxzv1 Well I am only guessing here.. but I think the location of teh current airport doesnt make space to reclaim land as it is surronded bu resedential areas while down in teh south desert there is plenty of space to explore and build a new hub. Although DOH has room to reclaim land.. i still don't know why they did that there is plenty of empty land in qatar to use.

  • @zxzv1
    @zxzv1 12 лет назад

    @hmasurg Thats coz. Doha is competing with Dubai esp. with location, luxury villa's. The way the new airport @ Doha is setup, a 3rd runway or terminal. The other area's in Qatar maybe reserved for other Qatar developement. With the 2020 Football WC in Doha, does'nt make sense to have an airport miles away.

    Good job as per the usual. I'm saddened by the slow demise of Gulf Air, it used to be a really dynamic forward thinking airline but alas no more. I flew with them a few years ago to LHR in business and was not impressed. Old planes and crew a bit disinterested. I was wondering if you had any views on them?

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 11 лет назад

    Today they have withdrawn the A330S from Frankfurt and Paris and Copenhagen and operate A320 or Private air B737.??

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 10 лет назад

    Dear Hmsurg, when did you first fly with Gulf air..because they were perceived exatly as you write that they were..seen as an exotic and luxurious carrier who flew to the East..unfortunately I didn t have the opportunity to fly them in the late 1970S..the middle east(gulf) has also open up so you can go there as a tourist today..was much harder before...

    @zxzv1 12 лет назад

    @am1966ath Yep. I remember travelling on GF in the 70's & later on their Lockheed tristar's GF Five Star Tristar" thats their slogan that time.
    Plus, during the mid 80's GF management changed from British/European to more Arab resulting in staff being recruited from North Africa - resulting in lower inflight service.

  • @hmasurg
    @hmasurg  13 лет назад

    @am1966ath GF has historically always been in debt.. has it had such a bad management? I know that there in flight product is poor and there is no real competiton with the MEB3.. thier current edge is the cheaper tickets. What can be done to turn it around.. Thanks.. I was hoping you would notice that!

  • @zxzv1
    @zxzv1 12 лет назад

    BTW is the music in this video same as GF's inflight music ?

  • @zxzv1
    @zxzv1 12 лет назад

    @hmasurg Thanks for the update. Yeah, they can explore that possibility of an airport on a wider scale without re-claiming from the sea. I was wondering if Qatar could do it by reclaiming land & building the New Doha International airport, why can't Bah.?

  • @hmasurg
    @hmasurg  12 лет назад

    @MrWahid1969 I agree. I try to think of the old 80's GF with their then luxurious Tristars. I have flown with them a few times short haul (standard) and twice long haul in J class... was not impressed at all.. old planes, poorly maintained and with un-welcoming service. So sad.. they have such agreat livery and potential. They are following in the foot steps of SV.

  • @zxzv1
    @zxzv1 12 лет назад

    The airport desperately needs a major upgrade & 2nd runway to handle bigger aircraft. Gulf Air does not fly nowadays to North America. The max. it flies upto LHR, Frankfurt, etc.
    Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha & Muscat are all upgrading their respective airports. I guess, land may have to be reclaimed from the sea or re-locates some people living on the northern area's on the airport.

    I think that the owner of Gulfair..the Bahraini government has problems, they don t know what to do with Gulfair...and probably these huge investments in aircraft may not be enough.....Gulfair thrived in a world without much competition...and what competition..

  • @zxzv1
    @zxzv1 11 лет назад

    The Gulf-South Asia routes are at least 85-90% capacity. Obviously, Riyadh-Bah fare paying passengers want flights on their dates, which Saudia, AI or Jet Airways dont have.
    S Asians living in and around the Dammam/Al Khobar area are prepared for the road trip to BAH, for convenient connections back home, which GF is cashing on. Whats the need for B737, A320 when you have an A330 with 300+ capacity.
    For Europe, by using B737/A320, its a clear thier marketshare is lossing out to QR, EK & EY

  • @OjojoHK
    @OjojoHK 12 лет назад

    @hmasurg They both had their golden years of being a world class, GF used to be the big three of the Middle East (i.e.: Gulf Air, Iran Air, and Middle East Airlines Air Liban) but they all have ceased to be 'world class' due to political restraints.

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 11 лет назад

    Iran air become a victim of the iranian revolutio 1979,MEA of the Libanese civil war 1975 and and Gulfair got the competition of Emirates and Qatarairways..unfortunately nothing stay the same and sometime a company can t adapt to competition..look at Qantas,Swissair and Air India...

  • @am1966ath
    @am1966ath 13 лет назад

    @hmasurg then the quality will sink and the MEB3 will start lowering their fares, with their multiply flights to the subcontinent and Europe they will soon make Gulf air an irrelevance and with that Bahrains role will also suffer as a business hub, I think..none of the dynamism of Dubai is present in Bahrain. I think that they must improve service and punctuality, and also conncentrate on a few markets, with massive advertisment,campaigns....also use the A330 on big routes, A320 is nothing to

  • @zxzv1

    There you go - instead of sending an A330 (capacity 335) with just 100+ passengers & loosing out, might as well use a A320 & save.
    These are hard times for GF. Have to do something to be afloat. Whats the alternative? Don't think passengers are willling to try Air Bahrain.
    BTW, BAH has a small airport dedicated for the F! guys. Is it likely to be converted to a International airport down the road?
