Fliteline B.V.

What Fliteline B.V. does

Fliteline B.V. is a Netherlands-based air charter broker headquartered at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, operating globally across passenger, cargo, private, ACMI leasing, and special-mission segments. The company serves a diversified client base that includes NGOs, governments, medical and emergency-response organizations, airlines, oil-and-gas operators, and private clients, with explicit capability in non-standard missions including war zones and humanitarian operations. Fliteline monetizes through transaction-fee brokerage on individual charter deals and managed-services contracts for ACMI wet/damp/dry leases, with all pricing quote-based and no published rate cards.

The company's core technology stack centers on FF-ICE (Flight and Flow Information for a Collaborative Environment) compliant flight planning systems, which enable trajectory-based operations with globally unique flight identifiers for cross-stakeholder coordination. A proprietary in-house tool, FliteMapper, has been launched as a standalone navigation/routing application at app.flitemapper.com, representing an early productization of the company's flight planning capabilities. Operations are supported by an internal aircraft index that the company claims covers every aircraft in operation worldwide, enabling mission-specific aircraft matching.

Fliteline operates an exclusively direct-sales model through a 24/7 expert team reachable via phone and service-specific quote forms, with no reseller or distribution intermediary layer. The company maintains ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, is GDPR and CCPA compliant, and is a member of the Air Charter Association and EBAA, with UNFCCC Climate Neutral Now signatory status for ESG positioning. Fliteline is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Rethmann Group, a diversified conglomerate, and is managed under the representation of Mr. J.E. Plaisier on the Management Board.
