Australian corporate travel firm FCM has launched an “AI Centre of Excellence” backed by artificial intelligence (AI) to enrich customer experiences, boost employee productivity and strengthen the relationship between the human workforce and hands-on AI applications.

The flagship corporate travel division of Flight Centre Travel Group, which is based in Brisbane in Australia, FCM Travel, mainly caters to many business travellers in India, with technology tools integrated within one global platform.
