Flight Centre Travel Group has outlined its plan to more than double its business in India over the next five years.

Speaking to India’s Economic Times, FLT’s executive general manager Asia and global corporate Rob Flint revealed that India is one of the top five corporate business markets for the group worldwide.

The company entered the Indian market in 2005 and has 12 outlets across the country with plans to open a further 10 next year.

“India is an emerging market and a long-term business for us. We expect a high double digit growth from this market over the next five years,” Flint told ET.

“We do about Rs 2,000 crore of business in India and believe that to be a leader in our space in India, we need to do at least Rs 5,000 crore of business. We want to get to that level in five years.”.
