Gulf Air
The original Gulf airline — Gulf Air predates Emirates, Qatar, and Etihad by decades. Once the shared carrier for Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, it's now Bahrain's solo flag carrier trying to compete with its much richer neighbors.
Gulf Air used to be the national airline for four countries simultaneously — Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi — before each country launched their own carrier.
