Gulf Air plans to add JetZero’s Z4 blended-wing-body (BWB) airliner to its fleet for routes out of its Bahrain base to destinations in Europe and Asia. On Tuesday morning at the Farnborough Airshow, the carrier signed a letter of intent for an undisclosed number of the in-development 250-seater with preferential delivery positions in the early 2030s.

Also on Tuesday, Japan Airlines expressed interest and support for the Z4 program. The Asian carrier said it is evaluating the aircraft as part of its long-term fleet planning. In 2025, United Airlines signed a provisional agreement to buy up to 200 of the aircraft.
