What Goedkope Vliegtuigtickets does

Goedkope Vliegtuigtickets, operated by Tix Travel Group B.V., is a Benelux-focused online travel agency that runs the Dutch-language platform goedkopevliegtuigtickets.be and its French-language sister site Billetdavion.be. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in the Netherlands, with operational offices in Breda, Enschede, Saarbrücken (Germany), and Willemstad (Curaçao). Its primary customers are individual Belgian and Dutch leisure travelers seeking low-cost flights, with route coverage spanning Brussels, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Antwerp, Charleroi, Maastricht, Lille, Liège, Oostende, and Düsseldorf Weeze airports.

The platform is fundamentally a flight search aggregation and booking engine that surfaces fares from more than 500 airlines worldwide, including budget carriers (Ryanair, Vueling, TUI fly, Transavia, Easyjet) and full-service carriers (Brussels Airlines, KLM, Emirates, Royal Air Maroc, TAP Portugal, THAI). The technical stack relies on third-party integrations for ancillary services rather than proprietary AI or ML systems: hotels are powered by Expedia Partner Solutions, car rental by Cartrawler, airport parking by Quickparking, tours and activities by Guide and Go, automatic check-in by Airobot, and insurance/guarantee products by Europ Assistance and International Passenger Protection Ltd. Customer-facing tools include a MyTrips booking management portal, a multilingual helpdesk, and a Service Pack premium support tier.

The business model combines dossier/transaction fees (€19.50 for one person, €35 for two or more persons per booking) with marketplace commissions on hotels, car rental, parking, tours, and insurance/ancillary add-ons. The company does not charge subscription or membership fees and offers free payment methods via Bancontact, VISA, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, and Klarna, with transaction infrastructure secured by Worldline and GlobalSign. Growth is driven by SEO across hundreds of destination and airline landing pages, paid search, and email marketing to a registered-user base, with the platform operating exclusively as a direct-to-consumer self-serve website.
