COLUMBUS Business Travel - FCM

THINK GLOBAL - ACT LOCAL

Personal points of contact, our 24/7 emergency service, regular updates through newsletters and travel alerts, as well as a structured crisis management system are just some of the many advantages we offer our clients.

Through the continuous integration of new technologies, we provide access not only to various online booking platforms such as Cytric or SAP Concur, but also to several apps (Cytric Mobile, SAP Concur, FCM Platform).

To ensure that the lowest or best available fares are booked for our clients, we work—of course in full compliance with data protection regulations—with various booking channels (GDS, NDC, web, etc.).

Sustainability is also an integral part of our approach, and CO² reports are a matter of course for us. If the internal travel policy allows for additional services such as seat reservations or extra baggage, these will be handled by the dedicated support team.

Our close cooperation with FairPlane, the visa service provider ÖVKG, and numerous credit card companies significantly simplifies business travel.

COLUMBUS Business Travel is the exclusive FCM partner in Austria and provides corporate clients with professional, collaborative support in all areas of business travel.

FCM – International network & local expertise

Business travel clients benefit from an efficient organizational structure that provides the flexibility needed for jointly developed, individualized travel management.

This has a positive impact particularly in the areas of technology, international service concepts, and purchasing conditions. The result: comprehensive, high-quality solutions at an international level.

All of this is built on advanced technological standards, solid international expertise, and the service-oriented commitment of the entire team. In an increasingly globalized business environment, this is a decisive advantage for FCM Business Travel clients.
