Flibco, also known as Flibco.com or Flibtravel International, is a public transportation company that manages short-medium distance bus lines to airports especially in Europe[1]. Flibco is part of Sales-Lentz Group (SLG). It is known in Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Italy.

The company in collaboration with local bus operators (same way done by Flixbus) specializes in airport bus services. The company's CEO Tobias Stueber, has been recognized and nominated as the representative of Luxembourg for his contributions with Flibco.[2]

Germany

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

Brussels South Charleroi Airport

In Belgium, Flibco has launched [4]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[5] (FR), Luxembourg (LU). In 2019 it carried 25% of travelers at this airport.[6]

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

France

Flibco was chosen to digitalize and operate a bus connection between Lille center and Lille Lesquin Airport [7], one between Lille and Brussels-National airport located near Zaventem and one between Lille center and Charleroi-Brussels South airport.
