Across our global teams specialising in energy travel, ATPI and Direct Travel are on a shared mission to bring greater structure to industry travel and bring greater structure and coordination to energy travel.

ATPI’s proprietary crewing technology, alongside Direct Travel’s Avenir, supports different but equally critical aspects of travel and workforce mobility. While Avenir provides a modern, global platform for business travel, ATPI’s specialist crewing solutions continue to manage complex workforce logistics.

Used together, these complementary capabilities enable organisations to take a more structured, efficient and scalable approach to managing both corporate travel and workforce movement across global markets.

What is Avenir?

Developed as Direct Travel’s global travel platform, Avenir brings structure and consistency to corporate business travel within complex industries, including energy. Adopted across ATPI’s specialist service lines, it enhances how business travel is managed without changing the underlying expertise that supports sector-specific requirements.

Avenir is a modern, cloud-native platform designed to move beyond the limitations of traditional online booking tools. Rather than relying on fragmented systems, it brings together content, policy, approvals and servicing into one intuitive environment.

Importantly, this advanced technology is paired with human expertise, ensuring travellers and clients continue to benefit from experienced travel professionals, particularly for complex or time-sensitive requirements.

Avenir for Energy Travel

Avenir enhances ATPI’s specialist offering by introducing a consistent global foundation for business travel, while preserving the depth and specialisation of existing solutions.

Industries such as energy manage multiple types of travel simultaneously, from large-scale workforce and crew movements to executive, commercial and project travel. These needs are fundamentally different and require distinct solutions.

Avenir is designed to support traditional business travel within the sector, bringing structure and consistency to:

  • Executive leadership travel
  • Commercial and client-facing teams
  • Project-based and technical specialists

This sits alongside ATPI’s established specialist services, which continue to manage:

  • Crew and workforce mobility
  • Offshore and rotational travel
  • Highly customised logistics to remote and complex destinations

Together, this creates a more structured and aligned approach to managing different travel needs across the organisation, without compromising the specialist capabilities required for complex operations.

“Booking a business trip finally feels modern and intuitive. I love that I can keep a pulse on the programme through richer data reporting and get the data in real time.” – Feedback from a travel manager who utilised Avenir.

OTC 2026: Providing the Platform for Avenir to Take Centre Stage

This month’s OTC event in Houston is all about showcasing the technologies reshaping the future of energy and Avenir reflects that same shift towards more modern, intuitive travel management.

As companies scale internationally and diversify across oil & gas and renewables, the need for structured, efficient travel solutions continues to grow. Meeting this demand requires a combination of modern platforms, sector-specific expertise and high-touch service.

Avenir provides a global platform for business travel, working alongside ATPI’s specialist solutions such as CrewHub and CrewLink, which continue to support complex workforce logistics. Together, they enable organisations to manage their full travel ecosystem with greater clarity, control and efficiency.
