Flight Centre has acquired the corporate business of European online travel agency eDreams ODIGEO for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition will give Flight Centre a presence in five countries - Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Germany - and secure a proprietary online booking tool that could be rolled out elsewhere in Europe, as part of a lower cost corporate travel offering, it said.

The company, which has also acquired corporate travel businesses in Malaysia, Hong Kong and Mexico this year, said it sees strong future prospects within the sector and will continue to expand internationally both organically and through acquisitions.
