How Webjet Evolved

with a complex network of industry participants,
airlines, wholesalers, distributors, retailers,
computer reservation providers, all operating
in an interdependent manner in delivering travel
to Australia's holiday and business market.
At
Webjet we felt it was time to remove this complexity,
harness the emerging technologies and put consumers
in the driving seat to enable you to book premier
branded travel when you wish from the convenience
of your home or office. Flight schedule and fare
information previously only available to travel
agents, is now also available to you.
