VLM Airlines has received a licence to operate the two Airbus A320 aircraft that they took over from Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium (TCAB). One of the aircraft (OO-TCX) is already wearing a flyVLM logo above its original TCAB colours and has already operated charter flights.

The Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport has confirmed that it has granted VLM Airlines the authorisation to use the TCAB licence for Airbus A320. VLM took over that licence together with two Airbus A320 aircraft and 40 TCAB ground staff employees. Most of the other activities were transferred to Brussels Airlines.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
