Flibco is part of Sales-Lentz Group (SLG), which operates local public transport in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Flibco is active in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Italy.

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

Belgium

Brussels South Charleroi Airport

In Belgium, Flibco has launched lines to Charleroi airport, which is poorly served by local public transport. Initially, the service was only available from Brussels Midi station, but later expanded to include connections from Bruges, Ghent, Arlon, Mons, Antwerp (BE), Breda, Tilburg (NL), Lille (FR), Luxembourg (LU).

Brussels Airport

Since 23 June 2022, Flibco has been transporting travelers to Brussels Airport (Zaventem) from Lille, with trips during the whole day, including early morning and late-night services. During this time, other connections were also launched such as Kortrijk [4], Ghent, Antwerp (BE), Breda and Tilburg (NL). The trips are carried out by Voyages Léonard, a company also part of the Sales-Lentz group

Flibco also offers shared taxis for airport transport to Charleroi Airport and, starting from 2022, to Brussels Airport, from any address in the Brussels region.

Italy

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 , between Malpensa and Turin, the Turin Caselle airport and Turin, and between the city of Florence and Pisa airport.
