Helloworld Travel has secured crucial ACCC approval for its proposed acquisition of Webjet, advancing its plan to consolidate travel distribution in Australia and New Zealand.

Webjet Group’s preliminary 1H26 results reveal resilience in a challenging market, with underlying EBITDA in line with expectations despite a 9% decline. The company revises FY25 figures following an accounting policy change and lowers FY26 EBITDA guidance amid subdued domestic leisure travel and a delayed brand relaunch.

Webjet’s board has unanimously dismissed BGH’s unsolicited acquisition offer, citing undervaluation and significant uncertainties. The company remains open to proposals that better serve shareholder interests.
