According to Sky News, shareholder LDC – the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group – is in talks with Brisbane-based Flight Centre Travel Group about a potential sale of the online travel agent.
Any deal is likely to be worth around £100m, the report added.
Both LDC and Iglu have yet to comment on the report. FCTG, which is listed in Australia, has also yet to comment.
LDC first invested in Iglu a decade ago.

Founded by chair Richard Downs, Iglu also offers ski holidays through Iglu Ski and owns the Planet Cruise brand.
