Flight failures on business trips cost 1.3 billion euros
Missed deals are not even included. Employees also suffer, says one expert.
Flight failures are expensive for German companies. On business trips, they ensure additional costs of around 1.3 billion euros, as the platform calculated for travel and expenses Travelperk.
The majority of 1.1 billion euros in additional costs such as accommodation, transport, meals and overtime affected by just under one million people per year Almost 200 million are rebooking costs.
Travelpperk criticizes that travel disorders have become normal in Germany. They are “not just an organizational or financial question,” he emphasizes. “They intervene deeply into private life. When stress increases, work-life balance suffers and even family moments are missed, the direct effect on motivation and productivity. Companies should take these stress seriously.” And they are also a problem for companies: “Every missed meeting can also be a burst deal.”
If you want to use your travel time efficiently, you have to accept that not everything is controllable, advises Triebelhorn. “I therefore concentrate on what I can influence – and rely on routines that give me scope for action: flights instead of the last pusher, priority lanes and deliberately early appearance at the airport. These routines not only reduce stress, but also ensure that I focus on every trip and remain capable of acting.”
