Investment Rating (Reviewed: 24/02/2009)

FLT is Australia's largest traditional high street travel agent. It has differentiated its brand into a number of market segments including retail, wholesale, corporate and online. Discount airlines intensify price competition, driving down the cost of air travel and lowering commissions to travel agents. The travel industry has adapted by charging customers a fee for service. Online travel agents, with their lower operating costs, add another burden to the competitive environment. FLT is changing its mix of businesses towards higher margin activities to compensate for lower airfare commissions.
