Flibco has announced a new coach service connecting Stansted Airport to Finsbury Park in north London.
The move comes as the company, headquartered in Luxembourg, highlights further expansion in Britain, investing in growth while welcoming 18 new coaches to its UK fleet.
Flibco entered the UK market last year, with services linking Stansted Airport and central London, after two successful decades as an airport transport tech company, connecting airport passengers across Europe with major hubs in Belgium and Italy.

Last year, Flix, a global transport and travel-tech leader, announced the acquisition of a majority share in Flibco.
The move enables Flibco to move forward with its expansion plans at major airports across the UK at a faster pace.
Stansted’s surface access strategy manager, Steve Mills, said: “Flibco’s new Finsbury Park service is a very welcome addition to London Stansted’s already extensive coach network and will provide passengers and airport staff across North London with a convenient and sustainable choice when accessing the airport.

“London Stansted is the UK’s number one major airport for public transport use by passengers, with nearly 50% travelling by coach, bus or train. These new services to and from Finsbury Park and Enfield, plus our growing and successful partnership with Flibco, will help us maintain and build on our proud track record as the airport continues to grow.”
Mandy Round, country director of Flibco UK, said: “We are delighted to announce our further expansion into the UK with a fleet of 18 brand new coaches and our new London Stansted to Finsbury Park route.
“As passenger numbers continue to grow, improving how people travel to and from airports is becoming increasingly important. Expanding public transport options is a key part of that solution”.

Flibco’s model focuses on transfer services that connect airports directly with cities and key urban locations.
