Gulf Air announced the signing of the definitive purchase agreement with Boeing for 787 Dreamliners, confirming the commitment announced earlier in July 2025 during the official visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to the United States. The agreement was signed on the sideline of Dubai Airshow 2025.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner remains a cornerstone of Gulf Air’s fleet, widely recognized for its advanced technology, environmental performance, and superior cabin comfort. The confirmed order supports the airline’s ongoing work to modernize its fleet while progressing toward international sustainability commitments.
As previously announced, Gulf Air and Boeing have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore localized maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This initiative aligns with Gulf Air Group’s broader efforts to strengthen Bahrain’s position as a regional aviation hub, develop local talent, and attract high-value technical investment.
The confirmation of this agreement underscores Gulf Air’s commitment to sustainable expansion, enhanced global connectivity, and the continued development of the aviation sector in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
