2018 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $54 million
Barclays' U.S.-booked air volume rose $5 million in 2018, according to a BTN estimate. The British investment bank spent 153 million British pounds on travel and accommodations in 2018, up 3 million from 2017. The company's income was 21.1 billion pounds, unchanged from 2017. As of Dec. 31, 2018, Barclays employed 83,500 full-time equivalent employees, up from 79,900 a year earlier. The company reduced its carbon emissions, including those from business travel, by 38 percent, a big jump from 26.1 percent the previous year, and thereby exceeding its target of 30 percent by 2018. As of August, the company was in talks to sell its New York-based automated options trading business to electronic market maker GTS.
