The Flight Centre story started with modest beginnings - an ambitious European double decker bus trip led by our current Global Managing Director Graham “Skroo Turner” and the opening of a single Australian store in the early 1980's. Over the years, Flight Centre Ltd has transformed into one of the largest and most rapidly growing Global travel operations of its kind.
Through our retail and corporate brands, we provide a complete tailor made travel service for leisure and business travellers in 50 countries including Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Hong Kong, India, China and the UAE. We employ over 10,000 people whose genuine passion for travel makes our company the success it is today!
In each country we operate in, Flight Centre Ltd's growth has been guided by the unique business model of “Family”, “Village” and “Tribe”, to create a local fit with a Global presence.
Our Company regards its people as its greatest asset and has consistently been recognised as an employer of choice internationally. It is the dedication and passion of the entire Flight Centre Ltd team that keeps the company on top of the industry ladder. We are the only travel company to be voted into the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to work for 6 years in a row by our employees. Here’s why:
"I have worked for Flight Centre for the last 5 years and have loved every minute of it. I have been given the freedom to run my own business and to make decisions regarding my business, but I also receive a great amount of support from my Team and Head Office. I love the environment I work in – its fun, fast paced and challenging. I have a clear career plan set out and I know my Team Leader will help me to get to where I want to be. I also look forward to going to work as the variety and rewards are plentiful; I have been to 2 Global Balls and have been sent on 3 educationals. With the free financial advise (Moneywise) I receive on a regular basis, I now have a pension and a healthy bank balance. I am also training (with the help of Healthwise) to run the London Marathon this year!"
