Leading digital travel company Webjet Group Limited (Webjet Group) has listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) after shareholders of its parent company, Web Travel Group Limited (ASX:WEB), voted overwhelmingly in favour of demerging Webjet Group Limited last week.

The Webjet Group (ASX:WJL) comprises of:

  • Webjet OTA - #1 online travel agency (OTA) in Australia and New Zealand
  • GoSee - a leading global motorhome and car rental ecommerce site
  • Trip Ninja - a technology company providing solutions for complex travel itineraries

Webjet Group commenced trading today on a conditional and deferred settlement basis, after a bell ringing ceremony at the Exchange Centre. Trading on a normal settlement basis is expected to start from 1 October, after shares are transferred to eligible shareholders. Webjet Group is trading under the ticket code WJL.

Speaking ahead of the listing, Webjet Group CEO Katrina Barry, said:

"This is a very exciting and significant day for Webjet Group’s entire team, our customers and our shareholders. With the demerger, we now have a dedicated board, leadership team and balance sheet, creating a unique opportunity to advance our strategic growth agenda. Our team who have worked incredibly hard to provide our customers with the greatest convenience, choice and customer service over a significant period, are focused and ready.”

"I'm excited to build on this strong foundation as we continue driving positive outcomes across the company. Each of our three business units—Webjet OTA, GoSee, and Trip Ninja—has a clear, distinct growth strategy that we are eager to pursue.”
