Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
There was lots of excitement in the 'Pink Palace' (Gulf Air's HQ) last week when staff were told to be on standby for a major announcement.
Speculation was intense - was it the confirmation of Bjorn Naf in the PCE's job, or was it the announcement of new planes, new routes, etc?
No it was simply the lowering of the Omani flag as an owner. Did you notice that as soon as that happened, Gulf Air switched their Muscat London Heathrow slot to a third daily flight from Bahrain?
