Apparel manufacturer and retailer Nike in 2021 saw a continued, albeit slight, year-over-year decline in U.S.-booked air volume of $7 million. About 94 percent of U.S.-booked air travel was for domestic travel.
Many of Nike’s travel policies this year remain in place including its implementation of pre-trip approval requirements and language encouraging booking closer to the time of travel. Nike has implemented new technologies, increased utilization of third-party booking consultants and is creating a guided for intentional sustainable, accessible and safe travel.
The company will continue its focus on bringing employees back to travel with intention-based practices. Throughout the company, virtual options are still available, but not required in place of travel, and the company could rebound to pre-pandemic spending levels in the next two years.
