Munich-based travel tech company Flix has announced its entry into the Australian market. With the launch of long-distance bus operations at the beginning of the Australian summer season \u2013 in December \u2013 Flix is continuing its international expansion strategy. Following the successful development of route networks in Europe, North America, Latin America, and parts of Asia, Australia is now also in focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"Australia is not only an attractive growth market in its own right, but also an important milestone in Flix's expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. Just as in Latin America, we intend to further expand our presence there,"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

says Andr\u00e9 Schw\u00e4mmlein<\/strong>, CEO and co-founder of Flix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia has so far been considered relatively traditional in the long-distance bus sector. While many local operators have modern vehicles, digital booking processes and customer-focused innovations have so far been limited. Flix sees an opportunity to set new standards with its fully digital booking system and technology-enabled travel experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on APAC region and local partner network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With its market entry into Australia, the Munich-based company aims to strengthen its presence in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC). This region is becoming increasingly relevant for the global long-distance travel market. India, in particular, shows great potential \u2013 especially in the premium long-distance coach segment. At the same time, other countries in the region<\/a> promising conditions for the expansion of long-distance bus transport: growing incomes, improved infrastructure and limited alternatives in the rail sector promote demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flix is also relying on its proven business model in Australia: Local bus companies handle operational implementation, while Flix provides the technological platform. This so-called asset-light model has already proven successful in over 40 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion to Australia comes just a few months after the Launch of Flix in Mexico<\/a>In addition, the company announced its entry into the Peruvian market this year, further accelerating its global growth strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
