Social media giant Facebook continued its rapid growth in
2018, and that’s reflected in its travel volume. BTN estimates Facebook’s
U.S.-booked air volume increased by a double-digit percentage in 2018.
Facebook—which owns Instagram, whatsapp and other tech platforms—saw revenue
increase more than 37 percent to $55.8 billion. The company at the end of 2018
employed nearly 35,600 people, up from 25,100 one year prior. Facebook’s 2018
business travel generated 397,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent
emissions, up from 246,000 in 2017. The company allows business class air
travel on most international flights.
