Press Release Body: New Delhi, December 19, 2007: Global travel retailer Flight

emerging leisure travel sector. The company, which operates successfully in India
through its corporate travel business FCm Travel Solutions, has today opened its
first leisure travel shop in the country. The shop is located in New Delhi and will
trade under the Flight Shop banner.

Flight Centre Limited's Global Managing Director Graham Turner said that entry into
the Indian leisure travel market represented the company's first international
expansion in the leisure sector since opening in the United States in 1999.
"Developing a presence in India is a small and strategic investment for Flight
Centre Limited." Mr. Turner said.
