In 2017, Hewlett Packard Enterprise completed two successful
divestitures, and its U.S.-booked air volume fell 66 percent in 2017 from 2016's
$131 million. The company also implemented Citi corporate cards globally, and
the travel team met its targets for costs and total value and drove compliance
to its strategic meetings management program. In terms of travel policy
changes, HPE reduced the number of travelers categorized as executive,
eliminated black car service for executives, implemented a pretrip approval
tool and implemented meal/catering restrictions. In 2018, the company plans to
review its business class travel policy, as well as its train strategy and
policy.

HPE's U.S.-booked air volume in 2017. Seventy-one percent of the company's
U.S.-booked air volume was for domestic travel. Eighty-four percent of

without the help of an agent. The company has a single global travel policy and
an individual bill/central pay card program. Total revenue for the company was
$37.4 billion.
