Gandalf Airlines

[1] The airline 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.

It was later reported that former CEO, Francesco Gaetano Intrieri, who held the position for five months,[2] was accused of financial misconduct involving approximately €480,000,000 to pay personal debts.

[4] In April 2004 it was reported that Alitalia had acquired the bankrupt airline to gain additional slots at several European airports, mainly in Milan-Linate and Paris (Charles De Gaulle).
