How Webjet Evolved

Webjet established itself within the travel industry by removing complex and interdependent booking arrangements, harnessing emerging technologies and putting consumers in the driving seat. Flight schedule and fare information, previously only available to travel agents, was made available to consumers. Webjet has since grown to become Australia and New Zealand's leading online travel agency. Webjet Hotels also enables consumers to book suitable accommodation at the same time as transport, including car hire, creating a seamless travel booking experience.
Webjet's key focus areas are Australia's largest cities of Sydney and Melbourne domestically, while also catering for popular international destinations such as Bali, Singapore and Thailand.

Webjet is a licensed Travel Agent (no: 32282) and a member of the Travel Compensation Fund, operating and complying with the obligations set out in the Travel Agents Act 1986.

Webjet arranges ticketing for electronic bookings ( license 023 5566) and for any paper tickets issued, which are processed by a ticketing operator ( license 023 4391). For paper tickets, your credit card funds are transmitted direct to the ticketing agent under secure site encryption using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Webjet is a public company, (code: WEB), having been listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in March 2000.
