Intel increased its U.S.-booked air volume by 9 percent in
2016, up from $79.2 million in 2015. Global air volume increased 19 percent. In
2016, Intel had 51,551 business travelers, an increase of 5,051 from the
previous year. In the first quarter of 2016, Intel acquired Altera, a
manufacturer of programmable electronics, and it completed the subsequent
restructuring in the second quarter of this year, closing several facilities
and reducing its global headcount by 15,000. That reduction saved $1.6 billion,
according to Intel's 2016 annual report. The company expects to spend $86.7
million on U.S.-booked air volume in 2017. Last year, Intel consolidated its
preferred hotel program in 72 countries and sustained customer satisfaction at
91 percent. In 2017, the travel program will enhance the travel experience and
increase the use of preferred suppliers. American Express Global Business
Travel is its primary travel management company globally.
