'die Airline' and 'die Fluggesellschaft' both mean a company that offers flights. In many situations, you can use both words in the same way, for example when booking, at the airport, or in information about a flight. 'Airline' sounds a bit more international and is very common in travel offers. 'Fluggesellschaft' is the German word and sounds neutral and clear. In terms of meaning, there is no important difference here.
