Google spent $284.7 million on U.S.-booked air travel in 2025, an increase of 13.5 percent year over year that for the first time brought the tech giant's travel spending past pre-pandemic levels.
Having maintained a non-mandated travel program, Google has made significant progress in driving traveler adoption to booking in preferred channels. The company's travel team has worked closely with booking and expense provider SAP Concur and its consolidated global TMC, American Express Global Business Travel, as well as global distribution system Sabre to tackle the growing problem of content fragmentation and make New Distribution Content available to travelers through those channels.
To date, Google has rolled out NDC with 11 carriers across 13 points of sale.
With a wider range of fares available to travelers, Google's program adoption has grown to about 70 percent and is on track to reach 75 percent by the end of this year. Before that effort, adoption was around 44 percent.
Google now is rolling out Complete, the joint offering by Amex GBT and Concur, while maintaining a direct relationship with Concur.
Google also has been active in driving development and adoption of sustainable aviation fuel. It joined Amex GBT's SAF program, Avelia, three years ago and this year signed an agreement with American Airlines to unlock 35 million gallons of SAF over the next three years, which will contribute to the reduction of about 300,000 metric tons of carbon emissions.
Google's parent company Alphabet reported $402.8 billion in revenue in 2025, up from $350 billion in 2024. Alphabet had 190,820 employees as of the end of 2025, up from 183,000 at the end of 2024.
