Intesting the Gold colored nacelles on that Gulf Air plane.... I thought painting the nacelles was strong discouraged by Boeing..

Nevermind, I see the British Airways plane has Blue ones..... I guess leaving them white has gone out of practice.

I would say at this point, there are more 787 customers with painted engine cowling than customers that have opted to leave them white. The only airlines I can think of that have kept them white, relative to their standard livery are JQ, NH, SQ and UA. Surpridingly, NH, SQ and UA standard liveries all feature grey engine cowlings which was one of the original approved colors.

I would be interested to know if any of the airlines that have opted to paint the cowlings is their 787s have noticed a performance hit compared to airlines who have kept them white.

I see that the third for SQ hasn't flown for three weeks according to FlightAware. I wonder what, if anything, is causing the delay in it's delivery, or whether this is normal?

They have five options and I imagine they can swap 787-9s on order for 787-10s. They have a combined 21 777-200 and 777-200ER configured for domestic / regional services with 405 seats, which is 10 more than their 787-9 equivalent. I would expect the 787-10s will be used for these missions, as well, since they would get into the lower-mid 400s in terms of seating.
