Flight Centre Travel Group Global Corporate CEO, Chris Galanty has also released a statement about the results.
“The corporate sector of Flight Centre Travel Group has achieved a record-breaking TTV of AUD$6 billion in the first half of FY25, with overall recovery now exceeding 140 per cent of pre-COVID levels, despite the sector not fully returning to pre-pandemic activity.
“Productive Operations has been a game-changer, establishing a global operating system that optimises workflow through the right channels, reducing costs, boosting income, and enhancing customer experiences. AI integration is at the core of our transformation, streamlining processes so that our people can focus on delivering exceptional service, Galanty said.
“Our future growth is underpinned by a strong pipeline of new business, with over AUD$800 million in new account wins so far this financial year for FCM Travel. Corporate Traveller has also secured a significant volume of SME accounts, with enhanced onboarding and customer retention strategies in place.
“Targeting specialist sectors remains a key growth strategy. Stage, Screen & Sports (Stage and Screen) is expanding under new leadership, while FCM Meetings & Events has successfully relaunched globally, with further expansion planned.
“With the rapid expansion of Corporate Traveller’s Melon platform in the Northern Hemisphere and increasing self-service capabilities through the FCM Platform, our investments in AI and Productive Operations will continue driving efficiency and growth in the years ahead.”
Flight Centre Travel Group remains optimistic about the future of corporate travel, poised to capitalise on market recovery with innovative travel solutions and strategic advancements.
