Move group-air requests to one path without dropping specialist checks

You’re the operations / chief admin officer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 17, 2026.

The event-air handoff is caught between platform scale and specialist certainty.

One path protects capacity and consistency, while a second review protects high-value group travel from missing context.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My event lead asked why the same request is open twice, and I had no clean answer.”

Budi Nguyen · Corporate Travel Manager

Runs an enterprise event program and depends on a single accurate status for group-air arrangements.

What is at stake

Eligible group-air requests are being worked twice, inflating consultant load and confusing event planners. You must weigh a cleaner platform handoff against the specialist checks complex itineraries still need.

Why it isn’t already fixed

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

  • platform adoption vs specialist service certainty
  • consultant capacity vs exception coverage
  • clean forecasting vs local operational judgment
  • fast operating rule vs durable product change

Why Navan

Navan Event Travel Platform adoption depends on moving routine group-air work online without losing the specialist service complex programs require.
