Executive Travel Management - in short

Executive travel management is schedule-sensitive travel for principals, directors and C-suite travellers: flexible and refundable fare selection, itinerary planning built around meeting windows, priority support, airport transfers and meet-and-assist, hotel selection close to where the meetings actually are, confidential handling of movements, and immediate disruption management when a flight moves. Tulla Travel handles this from Nairobi with a named coordinator per principal.

Frequently combined with corporate travel management in Kenya, flexible and refundable ticketing, corporate hotel booking and visa support services.

What should an executive office expect from a leading executive travel partner?

Executive travel is judged on different criteria from a general corporate programme. The office of the CEO is buying certainty, discretion and speed - not the lowest fare. These are the points an executive assistant or chief of staff should test when comparing executive travel companies in Kenya.

  • Discretion: principal itineraries handled by a small senior team, not circulated through a general booking pool.
  • Senior coordinator ownership: one named person who knows the principal's preferences, seat, loyalty numbers and meeting rhythm.
  • Schedule-sensitive ticketing: routing built around the meeting window rather than the cheapest connection.
  • Premium fare knowledge: business and first fare rules, upgrade nomination, award-ticket coordination and lounge access.
  • Flexible and refundable fare discipline: knowing when the change-fee premium is worth paying and saying so before booking.
  • EA communication: clean itineraries, one thread for approvals and changes, no chasing.
  • Meet-and-assist: landside meet at JKIA and major hubs, fast-track where authorised, executive transfers and hotel escort.
  • Disruption response: a direct out-of-hours escalation to someone with authority to reroute immediately.
  • Confidential itinerary handling: movement details shared only with named recipients.
  • Consolidated billing: executive travel cost visible separately for board and finance reporting.

How Tulla Travel handles principal-level travel

Tulla Travel assigns a senior coordinator per principal, issues on its own IATA accreditation so short-notice reissues stay in-house, and runs a direct WhatsApp escalation for changes at any hour. Executive spend is invoiced and reported separately from the wider corporate programme.

We make no claim to be the number one executive travel company in Kenya. The fair comparison is a live one: give us a real diary week and compare the itinerary, the fare logic and the response times with your current provider.
