System for hoisting and releasing an aircraft refuelling boom (6) at in flight refuelling operations between a tanker aircraft and a receptor aircraft comprising a linking device (5) connectable to the boom (6), and a lifting and lowering device (14) for operating the linking device (5) and therefore the boom (6) such that, when refuelling operations have to take place, the boom (6) is lowered down by the lifting and lowering device (14), said linking device (5) comprising connecting means (7) able to disconnect the boom (6) from the linking device (5), thereby allowing a free-flying boom refuelling operation, said connecting means (7) being also able to connect said boom (6) to the linking device (5), thereby facilitating the lifting of the boom (6).
