Our Background

Our Background

Flight Centre Limited opened its first academic travel office in Queensland, Australia in 2002. This was closely followed with the acquisition of Kistend Travel in 2003. A successful travel business originating in Hong Kong and later becoming a dominant player in the academic market, based in Melbourne.

Since then, our expansion has seen us develop into the leading travel service provider to the academic sector in Australia. We have achieved this by providing a total end-to-end travel solution, supported by experienced consultants who provide highly personal service and have access to the most efficient booking and reporting technology available.
