Maatschappij voor Luchtvaart

Maatschappij voor Luchtvaart (Dutch for: airline) was a Dutch company.

Maatschappij voor Luchtvaart was founded in 1911 by the two car dealers Verwey and Lugard in Haarlem . After the company's founders had organized Johan Hilgers' first flight in Ede on July 29, 1910, the first flight by a Dutchman over home soil, their company initially dealt with the organization of flight demonstrations and air races. This was later followed by a design office and a production facility for aircraft as well as a flight school with Johan Hilgers as a flight instructor.

The young aircraft designer Frederick Koolhoven was one of the company's employees and, together with the former medical student Henri Wijnmalen, designed his first machine, a copy of a Farman biplane, which was initially marketed under the name "Holland" and later under the name "Heidevogel" .

Another model was a version of the Blériot XI modified by Hilgers , which was sold as "Verwey & Lugard".

However, the company could not record any economic success and was dissolved again at the end of 1911.
