Helping to Keep Flying Sustainable - Business Travel News
Air travel is absolutely central to doing business in a globalized economy. Even as global companies increasingly use technology to stay in touch, the impact of face-to-face, personal interactions with colleagues, clients, suppliers and partners is essential to remaining productive and competitive.
The airline industry supports businesses' need to connect. More than 4.5 billion passenger journeys take place annually and many of these are for business purposes. In aggregate, the world's airlines provide a network of more than 22,000 city pairs with more than 125,000 daily flights.
With increasing scrutiny of the impact of flying on the climate, however, more business travelers and their companies recognize the importance of traveling sustainably. According to a recent Global Business Travel Association report, a majority of travel managers revealed they had been requested to find more sustainable travel practices. This momentum is even stronger in Europe, where seven in 10 travel managers said they believe it is important to empower travelers to make sustainable travel choices.
