2020 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $12.6 million
The U.S. division of Germany-based pharmaceutical and life
sciences conglomerate Bayer racked up $12.6 million in U.S.-booked air volume
in 2020, according to a BTN estimate, down from $47 million from 2019. Due to
the firm’s international structure, a high percentage of its of U.S.-booked
volume traditionally is comprised of international trips. That was unlikely the
case in 2020 with border restrictions and intensive testing and quarantine
requirements in place for much of the year. The company, which had a workforce
of 23,700 as of the end of 2020, earned $47.3 billion in gross revenue that
year, down slightly from $48.8 billion in 2019.
