He served different roles in the airline as Manager Operations & Crew Planning and in his role as Sales Director he successfully arranged many wet-lease contracts with airlines, NGOs and tour operators throughout Europe, Africa and Middle East.
In 2006 Lindeboom joined TUI Airlines as Area Manager-Caribbean based in Curacao, where he was responsible for marketing and tickets sales, leading multiple sales offices and agents in the Dutch Antilles, and overseeing the ground operations of the daily Boeing 767 flights to the various destinations throughout the Caribbean.
