On Tuesday 13 January 2026, SLG, formerly Sales-Lentz Group, and Flix, a global travel-tech company, announced that Flix has acquired a majority stake in Flibco, a digital airport-transfer platform headquartered in Luxembourg.
The acquisition marks Flix’s expansion into the airport-shuttle segment and aims to strengthen its position in the European travel market. Flibco, which was previously owned by SLG, will continue to operate from its headquarters in Luxembourg, under its existing management, with SLG remaining a minority shareholder and strategic partner.
According to the companies, the investment for Flix represents a logical next step in expanding its portfolio beyond intercity long-distance travel in markets across Europe.
Flibco currently operates airport-shuttle services in seven European countries in partnership with local bus operators and Flix noted that its “asset-light operating model” and “focus on digital and innovative products” align with Flix’s approach.
André Schwämmlein, CEO of Flix, said: “Over the years, we have learned that customers are looking for reliable and affordable ways to get to and from airports – not just between cities. This investment allows us to expand into the airport shuttle segment in a targeted way. Flibco has built a strong business in a fragmented market and we see clear potential to scale it further by leveraging Flix’s platform, technology and reach.”
Marc Sales, associate of SLG, added: “We built the Flibco concept with a clear dream: to become the leader in airport mobility. Finding a partner who shares that ambition and can match the speed at which we need to grow feels like a turning point for us. As a family-owned group, innovation has always been at the heart of what we do and Flibco reflects that spirit. With Flix now by our side, we can take this vision further across borders and unlock new possibilities for our whole group.”
Customers will continue to book airport-shuttle tickets directly via flibco.com. Flibco routes are also expected to become available on the Flix platform, allowing customers to combine airport shuttles with Flix’s wider travel services.
Tobias Stüber, CEO of Flibco, commented: “The partnership with Flix marks the next milestone in Flibco’s successful growth story. We share the same vision of making affordable and sustainable mobility accessible to everyone. By combining Flibco’s innovative strength and operational excellence with Flix’s global network, we will expand into new markets faster than ever before. At the same time, we remain committed to offering our passengers a fully digital, comfortable and reliable travel experience – from booking to arrival at the terminal.”
