Summary: Suzanne Neufang defended corporate spend growth on CNN and flagged what the Quiet Skies Act could slow down in business travel.

## Article

Suzanne Neufang, CEO of **GBTA**, sat down with Richard Quest on CNN to talk about two things our industry has been watching closely for months. First, the **Quiet Skies Act** and its push to ban in-cabin calls. Second, the state of global corporate spend, which the association pegs at around **7% growth**. The full conversation is reported by [Hospitality Net](https://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/4134860/gbta-ceo-suzanne-neufang-joined-cnn-to-discuss-quiet-skies-and-business-travel-demand).

For me, the Quiet Skies part matters less for noise and more for the ripple effect. If the regulatory framework tightens, airlines will scrutinise any onboard service that depends on the phone, and that hits how the corporate traveller's experience gets designed. Anyone selling onboard connectivity or managing travel policies should be revisiting their assumptions right now.

The **7%** corporate spend growth is the good news. It confirms business travel isn't dead, it's been reformulated. Less volume, more value per trip, more discipline around every single journey. That's an opening for whoever can prove ROI, not for whoever keeps selling seats by the bucket.
