Kelsian (ASX: KLS)

Formerly known as SeaLink, this corporation manages a transportation network that includes boats, buses, trains, trams, and even ferries.

The organisation provides several services, including the management of travel policies, budgets, and reporting in addition to the booking of flights, hotels, auto rentals, and visas.

Alliance Aviation Services (ASX: AQZ)

Alliance Aviation is a charter and group travel specialist. Alliance Aviation's share price actually increased during the pandemic given its customers continued to demand charter services, shunning regular commercial services. It has benefited from wet lease deals with Virgin Qantas, although an attempt by Australia’s flag carrier to buy the company has proven unsuccessful thus far.
