NetherLines B.V. was a commuter airline that was a subsidiary of Nedlloyd.[1] It merged with NLM CityHopper in 1991 to form KLM Cityhopper.

Jetstream 31

Netherlines was founded in April 1984 under the full name of Netherlines Airlines For European Commuter Services BV and began services using Jetstream 31 aircraft on a route between Amsterdam and Luxembourg. Other destinations served throughout the years were Eindhoven, Enschede, Rotterdam, Groningen, Cologne, Münster, Lille, Birmingham, East Midlands, Luton and Southampton.

Netherlines also used the Saab 340 to open a route to Vienna.
