08 September 2025 – FCM Travel, the flagship business travel arm of Flight Centre Travel Group, is thrilled to announce that it has once again earned the prestigious Great Place to Work® certification in the Middle East.

This esteemed recognition underscores FCM’s commitment to creating a workplace where every team member feels valued, empowered, and inspired to deliver exceptional service. The award is based on direct employee feedback, reflecting their experiences and overall satisfaction with the company.

“We’re excited and incredibly proud to receive the Great Place to Work certification once again, especially as we’ve secured a spot in the  Top 10 accredited companies in the region,” said Ciarán Kelly, Managing Director, FCM Travel Middle East and Africa.

“This achievement is a direct result of our team's hard work and dedication in shaping the vibrant and positive culture we enjoy today. In the region, our people are our most valuable asset, and we’re committed to nurturing an environment where everyone can grow, succeed, and thrive."

“I’ve been with the company for 23 years, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see how our region has developed over the past 15 years. Many of our employees are expats in the Middle East, and we are mindful of the unique challenges they may encounter. We approach these with an open mind and always aim to support our teams, both personally and professionally.”

FCM Travel has long been committed to recognizing and rewarding the hard work and achievements of its people, reinforcing that every individual’s contribution is valued.

This commitment, combined with a culture of honesty, transparency, and egalitarianism, forms the foundation of a company where everyone has a voice and a fair opportunity to succeed.

Whether it’s through ongoing recognition programs or open lines of communication, FCM ensures that employees are always in the loop and empowered to reach their full potential.

In addition to fostering a dynamic, inclusive culture, FCM has made significant investments in new, vibrant office spaces designed to energize and inspire.

“These cutting-edge offices are unlike anything our clients and suppliers have seen before, offering an exciting, fun, and healthy environment for colleagues to work in. By creating a modern, collaborative space, FCM not only encourages creativity and innovation but also promotes a healthy work-life balance with spaces that support both work and well-being.”

“We continue to prioritize a work environment that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and professional growth, with policies designed to promote a healthy work-life balance and an open, collaborative culture. It’s not just about offering a great place to work but creating a space where careers flourish, new ideas thrive, and our people feel supported every step of the way,” added Kelly.

“This recognition is particularly exciting as we continue expanding in Saudi Arabia with our wholly owned operation, bringing a fresh approach to Travel Management and further across the Middle East and Africa. We remain committed to our team’s success, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.”

“We are deeply grateful to our incredible teams for their dedication and to Great Place to Work for this prestigious recognition. Together, we look forward to building an even brighter future where our employees, and the customers we serve, continue to thrive.”
