The Government spends $191 million each year flying MPs and civil servants domestically and internationally and is looking to trim the bill.
The Ministry of Economic Development, in tender documents, is asking the aviation industry for a better deal on air travel.
Every year the Government pays for state servants, including MPs, to fly 440 million air miles on domestic, trans-Tasman and international air travel.
The annual air travel bill covers 630,000 transactions, including 190,000 international travellers.
The ministry said it was seeking "innovative solutions" to help cut costs. Among other things it also wanted to improve information flow about air travel to help cut costs and get more value for money.
