VLM AirlinesVLM/ VG

VLM Airlines was a Belgian regional airline founded in 1992 and headquartered in Antwerp, operating scheduled passenger services across Europe until its closure in 2006. The carrier focused on regional routes connecting secondary cities and smaller airports, serving destinations primarily in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France with a point-to-point network model. VLM offered economy-class seating on its regional aircraft and maintained a relatively small but consistent passenger base, positioning itself as a niche alternative to major European carriers on thin regional routes. The airline never joined any of the major global alliances, instead operating independently as a traditional regional carrier. Though modest in scale, VLM represented an important part of Belgium's regional aviation infrastructure during the 1990s and early 2000s before ceasing operations.
