A new way to measure corporate travel savings

For years, corporate travel programs have been promised savings through “new models” — yet proof has been scarce.

That changes with Blockskye’s Connected Savings Report, a first-of-its-kind analysis of live corporate airfares booked through direct supplier connections.

Released ahead of the Business Travel Show America in New York, the Q3 2025 edition shows that corporations using Blockskye’s connected supplier model saved an average of 6% across all markets, and as much as 12% on key New York business routes when compared with traditional Global Distribution Systems (GDS) channels. These savings translate directly to the bottom line — millions in potential annual reductions for enterprise travel programs.

The proof is in the data

The Connected Savings Report isn’t modeled on public fares — it’s based on real transactions from enterprise clients using Blockskye’s blockchain-enabled platform to book and pay airlines directly.

The analysis focused on high-frequency corporate routes from New York, booked within 14 days of departure — where business travelers often face the steepest prices.

Why direct supplier connections matter

Most corporate airfares today flow through traditional Global Distribution Systems (GDS). While they’ve long been the standard, they add layers of hidden costs: booking fees, legacy markups, and inefficiencies that travelers and procurement teams rarely see.

Blockskye takes a different path — connecting corporations directly to airline systems through modern APIs and blockchain infrastructure.

This allows:

  • Transparent pricing with no hidden markups

  • Faster settlement and reduced reconciliation work

  • Stronger supplier partnerships built on aligned incentives

  • Better traveler experience with direct access to upgrades, ancillaries, and loyalty programs

In short: less friction, more value.


Blockskye is transforming business travel by connecting corporations directly with travel suppliers. Its blockchain-enabled platform unifies booking, payment, and expense—eliminating unnecessary intermediaries and creating better outcomes for buyers, suppliers, and travelers alike.
