Gulf Air unveiled a special retro scheme with the delivery of its 7th 787. 2020 marked the airline's 70th anniversary. The airline's second A321neo was unveiled in the same retro scheme in October 2020. Note the purple colour in the original livery (referring to the Qatar flag colour when Gulf Air used to be a trinational airline) has been replaced by gold. Both retros also carry the "70th anniversary" and "F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix" decals that have been added fleetwide.
In mid-2025 the titles were changed from 70th to 75th anniversary.

2009-

This livery was designed to promote the Bahrain International Airshow which had its first edition in 2010. However in 2011, the titles on the engines were removed and soon additional standard Bahrain F1 Grand Prix were added on the back of the fuselage. These were later removed but the red flame still remains on the frame to date.

To celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2000, Gulf Air commissionned Tunisian artist Nja Mahdaoui to design 4 unique liveries based on his abstract calligrams. Mahdaoui considers himself 'an explorer of signs' and has been described as a 'choreographer of letters'. The abstract forms he combines are made of individual letters which entwine but do not have any intrinsic meaning. Part of his work can be seen here. The huge success of these liveries meant they were kept much longer than expected, with the "50" logos on the white engines logically removed rather quickly, replaced by the standard logo, and later on by blue & gold engines matching the new livery.

Gulf Air launched twice-weekly services from Bahrain to Singapore and onwards to Sydney in November 1990. It is unclear whether the rest of the 767 fleet of nine also had the stickers (A4O-GG, GJ, GL, GM).
