    Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, the FCM Travel Solutions brand was launched into the market in June 2004. Today, FCM Travel Solutions is a global travel management company operating a global network in more than 90 countries and managing the travel programs for some of the world's leading corporate brands. FCM's portfolio of clients includes a broad selection of multi-national, national, regional and local companies across every industry and specialisation.

    FCM has been in Singapore since 2005 via a partner network, and in 2007, became a wholly owned entity. FCM has also been present in Malaysia since 2005, and became a wholly managed entity since 2015. It currently uses Singapore as its regional hub for the rest of the region.

    By 2025, 32 per cent of all world airline traffic is expected to originate from Asia. Strong economic growth will continue to act as a major stimulus for airline demand in Asia, as business and leisure travellers respond to fast-growing economic activity and income levels. Passenger flows within Asia will experience the fastest rate of growth in the world, with routes between major European economies and Asia to generate substantial expansion.

    "The corporate travel management market in Asia is growing fast and there is a definite need for professional corporate travel management services. We are thrilled to be working with FCM to bring our B2B communications capabilities to bear towards their aim of becoming the leading corporate management travel company in Asia," said Naeema Ismail, General Manager, Ying PR.
