Who we are:  
 

Proud to be part of the Flight Centre family – We do things a little differently around here. We do things the FCTG Way.  Our mission is to dominate the SME market, making the end-to-end travel experience faster, simpler and easier for our customers and to demonstrate ongoing value to decision makers, travellers and bookers.  

We have a unique culture and an irreverent DNA based on a proven mix of ideas, values, and ways of working that have helped shape our business over the past 40+ years.    

Across our brand, we take our business seriously but not ourselves. We take leaps of faith, have trust in our teams and work collaboratively and take ownership of our business to achieve our goals.    

Our spirit of egalitarianism, irreverence and ownership defines the way we behave.  These are the three shared values that we place above all others. They help us make informed decisions and solidify our company culture. That’s the FCTG Way
