History

edit

The company in collaboration with local bus operators specializes in airport bus services.

In January 2026, it was announced that Flibco had been acquired by FlixBus, which took a majority share in the company for an undisclosed amount. As part of the transaction, Flibco’s existing owner SLG retained a minority stake, while the company continued to operate under its existing management.[2]

Germany

edit

The company started operating bus lines to Frankfurt–Hahn Airport[3] around 2006, around the same time that low-cost airline Ryanair began operating at this remote airport.

Belgium

edit

In Belgium, Flibco has launched[4][5][6] lines to Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which is poorly served by local public transport with only TEC buses available.[7] Initially, the service was only available from Brussels-South railway station, but later expanded to include connections from Bruges, Ghent, Arlon, Mons, Antwerp (BE), Breda, Tilburg (NL), Lille[8] (FR), Luxembourg (LU). In 2019 it carried 25% of travelers at this airport.[9]

Italy

edit

Since 2019, Flibco has been present in the Italian market, establishing the company FlibTravel International Italy SRL with its headquarters in Milan. Currently, it carries out a connection service with coaches between the Milan Central station and the Orio al Serio airport,[10] between Malpensa[11] and Turin, the Turin Caselle airport and Turin, and between the city of Florence and Pisa airport.

United Kingdom

edit

On 1 April 2025, Flibco began UK operations,[12][13] providing a coach service between London Stansted Airport and London.[14]
