Align event-air counts before staffing follows the wrong margin

You’re the finance & operations lead. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 17, 2026.

The event-air handoff is distorting the cost of work that still needs specialist care.

Consistent global reporting protects staffing decisions, while local handling differences protect complex traveler outcomes.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My attendees keep asking who owns the last-minute changes, and I need one clear answer.”

Hedda Solberg · Corporate Travel Manager

Runs an enterprise event travel program whose travelers depend on coordinated group-air support.

What is at stake

Two regions are counting consultant-supported event-air work differently after the handoff. You have to weigh a fast reporting correction against preserving the local detail that explains real service demand.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • global consistency vs local service reality
  • margin visibility vs workload visibility
  • fast correction vs durable operating definition

Why Navan

Navan Events depends on one view of online and offline event-air work as it combines platform-enabled travel with high-touch group-air service.
