Webjet was established by former Jetset Travel Chief Executive David Clarke, Allan Nahum and John Lemish in 1998. The company was publicly listed on the ASX in 2000 through a reverse takeover deal with Roper River Resources NL. Roper River Resources NL became Webjet NL on 18 April 2000 and was later changed to Webjet Limited on 15 June 2000. On 31 May 2001 Webjet became 100% automated, allowing customers to fully complete their bookings online. In April 2010, Webjet Limited commenced operations in North America through a joint venture with Mathias Friess, formerly General Manager of Global Sales and Distribution of Virgin Australia, and Head of Sales North America for Lufthansa. In February 2011, John Guscic was appointed as Webjet's Managing Director, after serving on the Webjet board since 2003. In April 2012, Webjet OTA signed as a major sponsor of the Melbourne Football Club, with players sporting the Webjet.com.au logo on the front of their club jerseys less than 24 hours after the deal was struck. In the same month, Webjet also partnered with Australian loyalty program flybuys. Wikipedia
