Gulf Air also has a bird...not sure if it's a falcon...and they fly through London, as well. You can fly from London to several places in the US.

In searching for other falcon/airline related things, I found something else saying Gulf Air indeed is a falcon logo. Oman Air is sort of a partner and there website has things like a falcon frequent flyer card.

But look at the date of this event...involving Falcon Air...obviously completely just a 'fluke' thing, but thought the date it occured was odd...

A few other links/articles also below and other falcon/air connections/airlines.
