Airline Staff Travel - Staff Travel

Staff Travel

The airline industry sees staff travel to be one of the most sought after motivational and retention strategies. On the flip side, most of the staff travel that happens in the industry is standby. This would mean that a confirmed seat is not given to the staff member for this travel. Rather, a listing and no booking happens for staff travel. This makes staff travel unpredictable and there are chances of the staff being "bumped off" from the flight, in case the flight is full and there are revenue passengers that receive priority.

Since the staff travel is a privilege given to the employee, most airlines also maintain a policy for administering staff travel. The staff travel function generally falls under human resources and in some cases under customer services or marketing. If the airline's employees are numerous enough, a separate department is also maintained to cater to this process.
