Case Study: Kinross safely extracts 17 travelers from Russia with Direct Travel

Kinross safely extracts 17 travelers in 2-3 days with Direct Travel

Kinross, a global mining company, faced the urgent challenge of safely extracting its employees and expatriates from a high-risk location in Russia following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. They turned to their travel management company, Direct Travel, for immediate assistance with emergency travel coordination and crisis response.

Direct Travel implemented a solution that involved proactive monitoring, re-routing travelers through Asia due to European airspace closures, and providing constant 24-hour communication. The vendor successfully secured safe travel home for all 17 employees within two to three days. The measurable impact was the safe return of every individual, which resulted in deep appreciation from Kinross, who credited Direct Travel's responsiveness and service for the successful outcome.
