Tech giant Oracle increased U.S.-booked air spend 6 percent
in 2018, though spending remains far below what it was before significant cuts
in 2016 and 2017. The company asks employees to travel only when necessary and
pushes its own remote conferencing tech companywide to limit travel costs.
Oracle in recent years has implemented dynamic pricing hotel agreements for
certain brands and has reviewed policy on premium economy airfares and other
airline fare offerings. Revenue for the 12 months ending May 31, 2019,
increased less than 1 percent year over year to $39.5 billion. Oracle had
approximately 136,000 full-time employees on that date, down about 1,000 from a
year earlier.
