Headquarters
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Arkefly was a Dutch leisure airline that operated as the flight division of Arke, a tour operator owned by TUI Nederland. The airline specialized in charter and scheduled leisure flights from the Netherlands to holiday destinations across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Arkefly operated primarily from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and other Dutch regional airports, serving sun and beach destinations popular with Dutch holidaymakers. The airline used the ICAO callsign TFL, reflecting its roots as Transavia France before becoming part of the TUI travel group's Dutch operations.
In 2015, Arkefly was rebranded as TUI fly Netherlands as part of a broader global rebranding effort by the TUI Group, aligning all its airline subsidiaries under the unified TUI fly brand. This move consolidated the group's identity across multiple European markets.
