Gandalf Airlines was a regional airline based at Orio al Serio Airport near Milan, Italy. It operated a fleet of Dornier 328 aircraft in both jet and turboprop versions to a number of European destinations: Barcelona, Bari, Brescia, Brussels, Catania, Florence, Madrid, Milan, Paris (Charles de Gaulle), Paris (Orly), Pisa, Rome, Stuttgart, Trieste and Verona. Gandalf also had an agreement with Air France to feed the French carrier's international flights at de Gaulle.

By November 2003, Gandalf Airlines had cut most of its routes due to financial difficulties. In February 2004 it filed for bankruptcy and suspended all operations. In April 2004 it was reported that Alitalia acquired the bankrupt airline to gain additional slots at several European airports, mainly in Milan-Linate and Paris (Charles De Gaulle).

All pilots were required to wear Grey robes unless being suspended and returned (or medical leave), were required to wear White. Once while outnumbered, troops in Iraq called for Air support. Hearing the cry for aid, Gandalf Airlines rode for days finding fighter jets that had once been discharged from the military to fly again.
