Gill Airways was a regional airline with its head office in New Aviation House on the grounds of Newcastle Airport in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, United Kingdom.

Following the acquisition of passenger aircraft in June 1989, the airline changed its name to Gill Air.

The arrival of Fokker 100 aircraft in 1995 resulted in the airline entering into a codeshare agreement with Air France between Newcastle upon Tyne and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.

The title of Gill Airways was adopted in 1995, to reflect the growing importance of passenger operations to the airline.

On 1 September 2009, an application for a Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence was made by Gill Airways Ltd, of Birmingham.
