British Gulf International Co. LTD [1] was a cargo airline based in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and operating from Sharjah and Dubai. Its main base is Sharjah International Airport, with a hub at Dubai International Airport. [2]

History

The company was established and started operations in July 1996 in Sharjah, UAE.

British Gulf lost one of its Russian built AN-12 cargo planes on 13 November 2008 in Iraq.

As from November 2009, the company is included in the list of airlines banned within the European Union. [3]

With the temporary 2009 ban on AN-12 operations within the UAE economic area made permanent one year later, [4] the fate of British Gulf was in doubt. As of late 2012 the company's web presence is gone and some of the aircraft fleet are stored at Rivne in Ukraine. [5]
