Link Travel Group has recorded a third consecutive year of record growth, with turnover surpassing $1 billion in FY26 despite global travel disruption caused by the Middle East conflict in the final quarter of the financial year.
The invite-only travel group said the result was significantly higher than FY25, with travel insurance and cruise sales each growing by more than 20 per cent. International air also delivered a standout performance, with more than 70 per cent of bookings made in premium cabins, highlighting continued strength in luxury and corporate travel.
Link Travel Group general manager Scott Darlow said the latest result demonstrated the resilience of the group’s agency network during a challenging trading environment.
“Delivering a third consecutive year of growth, and a record turnover once again over $1 billion, is an outstanding achievement for our members, especially against the backdrop of the disruption we saw in the Middle East during Q4,” Darlow said.
“It’s a testament to the strength, agility and expertise within the Link membership that we not only weathered that volatility, but continued to grow.”
The strong growth in cruise and travel insurance sales reflects the network’s growing cross-selling capability and ancillary revenue generation, while premium international air bookings continued to outperform expectations.
“Our members and their teams should be incredibly proud of this result, and we are delighted to share some of the spoils with them,” Darlow added.
Link Travel Group will present its full FY26 financial report to member agency owners at its 2026 Link Owners Retreat in Bangkok this November.
“As part of our commitment to transparency, prosperity and connection and collaboration, I look forward to presenting the full financial report to the Owners of our member agencies at the 2026 Link Owners Retreat,” he said.
