Flight Centre Travel Group (FLT) — Strategic Repositioning & Valuation Opportunity Corporate platform emerging; market still pricing as legacy leisure travel agent
Investment Thesis FLT is transitioning from a labour-intensive leisure travel model to a higher-margin corporate travel and services platform. This shift is not yet reflected in valuation.
****Fresh Approach Acquisition *** (Key Signal) • UK-based M&E; and creative agency integrated into corporate segment • Enables vertical integration and margin capture • Unlocks cross-sell across 2,000+ corporate clients • Positions FLT as end-to-end corporate services platform
Strategic Implication FLT is evolving toward a higher-quality, recurring-revenue corporate platform with embedded services — structurally superior to legacy leisure operations.
ASX:CTD still under suspension.

Mallers in Melbourne (NOTE: - just got back from three weeks in fuel-starved Sri Lanka! All tours there now cancelled or deferred.... )
Looks like Flight Centre (FLT) is moving around again. JP Morgan have been topping up their holding position. 45 page PDF lodged with ASX.
I am watching and interested to see what happens if Corporate Travel Management (CTD) actually falls apart.
General Question: Is FLT in a good position to step up to service the multitude of CTD Government travel contracts?.
N.B. Now holding FLT.
Comments please.
cheers
