Dec 20, 2007 – Global travel retailer Flight Centre Limited has boosted its presence in India by expanding into the country’s emerging leisure travel sector.

The Flight Shop outlets will operate alongside the FCm Travel Solutions business, which is headed by Rahul Nath. FCm’s Vice President, Gaurav Luthra will head the leisure operation. According to Mr. Luthra, “Visitors to Flight Shop could expect excellent holiday bargains, with the expert consultants arranging everything from airfares, accommodation and package holidays to car hire and visas. The Flight Shop’s expert service will be backed by a value proposition of ‘Our Perfect Holiday Promise - enjoy the holiday you paid for or we’ll give you a Rs. 1500 voucher’”, Mr. Luthra said. After starting out with just one store 25 years ago, Flight Centre Limited has enjoyed remarkable growth. In its most recent full-year result announcement to the Australian Stock Exchange, the company revealed record sales and profit figures. # # # Flight Centre Limited is one of the most successful and fastest growing travel groups in the world.
