GE's U.S.-booked air volume dropped by a third in 2017. Last
year, it introduced an internal mobile app that gives employees' managers and
business unit leaders insights into their travel spend. The app notifies an
employee's manager when he or she books travel, and business unit leaders can
use the app to look for ways to cut travel costs and optimize travel spend.
Also in 2017, the company completed its acquisition of oil and gas firm Baker
Hughes. It also plans to redouble its focus on China, India and emerging
markets like Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Revenue fell 1 percent
in 2017 to $122.1 billion.
