fish Gandalf Airlines is about to sink?!

After the President & Founder, Luciano Di Fazio was removed from his position last week things have began to deteriorate.

4 Pilots and 10 flight attendants were fired this week and another 8 pilots will follow next week. Together with them about 25 employees have also lost their jobs. Why? Well after just over 2 years of operations the passenger loads are still very low ( around 40% average load factor). The company has really invested in publicity and now rumours are it will dissappears within a few months.

Fortunately there is a lot about to happen on the Italian market with Hapag-Lloyd
and Alpitour staring up an airline together and Air Italy with there B767 operation from Brescia.

Gandalf crews don't worry you'll find another job soon!
