Undoubtedly Covid-19 continues to impact on how we all do business and Hannon Travel, one of Ireland’s longest established Travel Management Companies (TMC) is no different.
As lockdown continues and remote working becomes the norm (for the time being or not), we are using this “quiet” time as an opportunity to explore and understand how we will do business in the future. There is no doubt demand, workflows and technologies will be different and for us, now is the time to prepare, train, upskill and upgrade. This means being ready for an even more flexible approach to doing business during the “new norm” beyond Covid19.
Hannon Travel is a Sponsor of IIBN.
Irrespective of what challenges, time, demand and Covid19 may bring, key aspects of our focus will remain unchanged, these are total unreserved commitment to: –
- Customer service
- Duty of care
- Providing the best solution to every travel request

We have handled many calls from distressed passengers who had booked online and were stranded during the Covid19 pandemic, it is evident that more people and corporates will wish to have their travel managed by a TMC in the future. The recurring feedback of poor or zero response and effective solutions at times of emergency from online providers is already prompting corporates to talk to us for their future travel.
Social distancing is expected to continue for some time in the future. Airlines and airports are reviewing onboard seating, lounges and queue management to accommodate this and there is no doubt that there will be an impact on how we travel in the future. As we continue into the evolving nature of future travel Hannon Travel are in constant contact with all facets of our industry to ensure we can provide the best advice and solutions.
