 How Webjet Evolved
The travel industry in Australia has long been associated 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.

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.
