Oil and gas giant BP’s 2021 global travel and entertainment spending notably increased from the $50 million it recorded in 2020, but its U.S.-booked air volume declined, illustrating last year’s challenge to international travel. Only 29 percent of the company’s U.S.-booked air spending was for domestic travel.

Sustainability continues to be a key consideration in BP’s travel program, and the company has adopted a purposeful, deliberate stance toward post-pandemic business travel. BP in recent years globally consolidated travel management services with Egencia.

The company expects a significant increase in 2022 U.S.-booked air volume, but to a level far short of the $45 million it recorded in 2019.
