Indeed! Laško is at least Slovenian. As the subsidiary VLM d. d. (VLM Slovenia) is.

And appropriate since VLM Slovenia is the operating carrier of the ANR-LCY route

And what about this beer of 'Antwerp' origin:

What I remember from VLM, is their good coffee and their super fresh sandwiches from a local bakery, restaurant style presented with a basket ("ham or cheese?").

I wonder if they will serve more then one beer on a Antwerp-London City.

And what about this beer of 'Antwerp' origin:

Except for having a base in Antwerp there isn't really a connection with Antwerp or even with Belgium for that matter. SHS Aviation (dba VLM Airlines) is a Chinese/Dutch airline.

Officially Canadian/Dutch (but the Canadians live in Hong Kong)

This is not directly VLM news, but related government news: Slovenia is moving forward with plans to secure services to China in 2018, as the two government are discussing the establishment of flights between the two countries.

VLM news?

Surprised, but yes.
Since HQ (former Thomas Cook Airlines) doesn't excists anymore and apparently VLM took over the HQ-flightnumber.

[DIBO]

Is this one of the 2 A320's taken over by SHS Aviation (the holding above VLM) ??

[sukhoi]

if shs aviaton can use the hq flightnumbers and thomascook airlines belgium than can they also use thomascook and the hq flightnumber for flight to china and then can they do a operated by thomas cock airlines belgium contruction and give they then slovenian flight numbers unther the name vlm airline so ist the belgium cao not longer necessary if i am not wrong like a brusselsairline eurowings construction or eurowings sunexpress contruction or they can rename thomascoock airlines to vlm airlines but than have you the hq flightnumber a bit rare for vlm but why not

OO-VLS departed from Antwerp to Maribor this morning. Finally launching lights from there?

SHS Aviation might have bought part of Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium, including the AOC but that doesn't mean that the Belgian CAA can't revoke the AOC of Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium if they want to do so... You never know what the BCAA is up to
