Athleticwear giant Nike saw U.S.-booked air volume fall to
$11.7 million in 2020 from $83.3 million in 2019. Global T&E dropped to
$68.6 million from $185.3 million over the same period. Eighty-three percent of
U.S.-booked volume was for domestic trips.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the company made
travel policy changes including implementing pre-trip approval and allowing all
trips to be booked in whichever class allows for the maximum amount of space
between passengers, including first class. On the pricing side, Nike switched
to a cost-plus contracting model with its global consolidated travel management
company, BCD Travel. The company implemented an integrated events platform in
Cvent in 2020—and while key 2021 goals include getting travelers back on the
road, virtual meetings will continue to play a major role moving forward. Other
Nike travel policy priorities in 2021 include simplicity, sustainability and
inclusivity.
