The Tarmac by Travel Advisory
Stop scanning six sources. Start knowing what matters.
Weekly intelligence for corporate travel managers. Country risk changes, NDC surcharge tracking, and the five stories you need before Monday morning. Built on proprietary data from six government sources.
What lands in your inbox every Monday
Intelligence sourced from data you will not find in any other newsletter
The problem you live every day
You are a team of one managing millions in travel spend, and everyone expects you to know everything.
47% of travel managers say their role is more stressful now than two years ago. 58% are fed up with their TMCs. NDC is a nightmare. You are doing more with less, and nobody is giving you the intelligence to do it well.
Your travelers are booking into countries with rising risk scores and nobody flagged it. An airline just added a GDS surcharge on your top corridor and you found out from a colleague, not your TMC. Your CFO wants to know why cost-per-trip is up 15% and you are pulling data from four different systems to build the answer.
You are not under-qualified. You are under-informed. The intelligence exists. It is just scattered across a dozen sources that nobody has organized for someone doing your specific job.
TRAVEL RISK BRIEFING
Know which destinations got riskier before your travelers get there.
Weekly risk score changes across 200+ countries, sourced from six government agencies. State Department advisory shifts, WHO health alerts, political instability indicators. When a country moves from Level 2 to Level 3, you will know Monday morning. Your duty-of-care dashboard shows where travelers are. This tells you where the risk is moving.
NDC & SUPPLIER INTELLIGENCE
Never get blindsided by an NDC surcharge again.
Carrier-by-carrier NDC tracking and early-warning analysis. Which airlines are adding surcharges for GDS bookings, what the actual dollar impact is, and what other programs are doing about it. Sourced from airline newsrooms, IATA policy announcements, and distribution channel reporting. Analysis lands in your inbox before it hits BTN.
