History

FCM was officially launched to market in 2004 following the consolidation of various corporate travel businesses within parent company FCTG. From the mid to late 1990s, FCTG aggressively grew its organic corporate businesses and at the same time made a number of strategic acquisitions to enhance the group's technology capabilities and strengthen its international market penetration.

By 2002 FCTG's corporate division included seven different businesses, which in 2004 were consolidated to form FCM Travel Solutions. The reach of FCM's global network broadened significantly with the acquisition of major travel companies including Sydney Business Travel (Australia), Internet Travel Group (Australia), Garber Travel (USA), Bannockburn (USA), Britannic Travel (UK), American International Travel (Hong Kong), Liberty (USA), Friends Globe Travels (India), China Comfort (China), Air Services International (Singapore), Worldwide Aviation Services (Malaysia) and Business Travel Development B.V. (BTD) (Netherlands). Since 2004, FCM has continued to partner with local travel companies around the world to expand the company's network to 90 countries. FCM has 450 offices worldwide, employs more than 6,500 staff and has global turnover of more than US$5 billion.

gollark: Oh, come to think of it, it would be cool if potatOS could do P2P update if there's no internet connection somehow. Which is probably one of the things git is designed for. Hmmm.
gollark: I have backups of various older versions of it, too.
gollark: No, there are just a lot of files on pastebin and it's hard to track down all the places potatOS randomly downloads things.
gollark: ... if I can find it, actually.
gollark: Anyway, I figure I'll start on the whole project *now* by creating a folder™ containing all the potatOS code.
