A bit about Flight Centre Travel Group\’s history

Flight Centre began life in 1973 as London-based bus-tour business Topdeck, formed from just one single double-decker, with the top level resourcefully converted into bunks!

In 1982, Flight Centre opened its first store in Sydney, Australia with an aggressive growth strategy and an ambitious goal: to be one of the largest travel retailers in the world. We opened our first store in the UK in 1995. As a company today, we operate with 30 retail, corporate and wholesale brands internationally, with more than 2500 locations, employing a global staff of over 19,000 team members, and a geographical footprint spanning 23 countries including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, South Africa, Hong Kong, India, China, Mexico, Singapore and UAE. The plan is going well.
