Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) is one of the world’s largest travel companies, employing 13,000 like-minded individuals – colloquially known as ‘Flighties’ - across 32 countries. 

Our story dates to 1973, when our founder Graham Turner (aka “Skroo") and friend Geoff “Spy” Lomas buy a double-decker bus and take off on their first tour around Spain, Portugal and Morrocco, 3 years later forming the first business, Top Deck. After flight deregulations in the 80s our first retail "Flight Centre" stores opened in Australia in 1982, London in 1984, and New Zealand in 1987. 

1987 was also the year we held our first “Global Gathering”, our infamous awards event celebrating our amazing people, a tradition that continues to this day. 

And in 2025 we launched our new loyalty program in Australia, World360 Rewards! Our customers now able to earn and redeem points across Flight Centre, Travel Associates, and Cruiseabout, on every kind of travel including flights, stays, tours, cruises and more. 

We’re in our 40s now and a lot has changed! With global headquarters in Brisbane, Australia, our company owned leisure and corporate travel businesses span three major regions: APAC (Australia, New Zealand, and Asia), The Americas (USA, Canada, and Mexico), and EMEA (UK, South Africa, Ireland, Europe, and the UAE). 

Our flagship corporate travel management brand, FCM, extends our reach even further through an impressive network covering over 100 countries via both company-owned operations and independent licensees. 

With 30 unique brands across our global footprint, our team spans from customer-facing to internal support roles that power our operations and automation. The opportunities are just as diverse – from a Travel Consultant at Flight Centre or Envoyage, to a Machine Learning Scientist in one of our tech pillars, driving innovation behind the scenes.
