FCM wins UniSuper’s travel account

Flight Centre Travel Group’s flagship large market corporate travel division, FCM, has been appointed as the travel management partner for UniSuper.

UniSuper is an Australian superannuation fund with more than 600,000 members and over $115 billion in funds under management.

The announcement comes as newly released figures showed the number of finance and insurance bookings across dozens of different businesses within those industries soared year-on-year, with FCM internal data revealing that between 01 January 2022-30 June 2022 and 01 January 2023-30 June 2023, travel within the sectors took off by more than 28 per cent.

“We’re delighted to confirm that FCM has been appointed as the travel management partner for UniSuper. Given UniSuper’s longstanding service to the university sector and FCM’s 23 University clients, it was a natural partnership,” said Flight Centre Corporate managing director ANZ Melissa Elf.

“Given our mutual focus and success in the tertiary sector, it was a great match, and UniSuper has already reached some excellent milestones early on with 96 per cent online booking tool uptake.

“We’re particularly proud of the relationships we have within the finance and insurance sector and that’s underpinned by the industry-leading service our teams provide. Being able to partner with UniSuper is a real testament to the hard work and track record of our people.”
