Defense contractor and aerospace firm Northrop Grumman's
U.S.-booked air travel increased slightly in 2018. Sales increased nearly 16
percent to $30.1 billion, and its backlog, a measure of firm orders not yet
fulfilled, increased more than 25 percent to $53.5 billion. Northrop Grumman
business travel—including air, rail, hotel and car rental—accounted for nearly
140,300 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in 2018, down about
2 percent year over year. The company had about 85,000 employees at the end of
2018, about 15,000 more than it did in 2017. Northrop Grumman added about
12,500 employees last year via the $9.2 billion acquisition of missile
manufacturer Orbital ATK.
