AMERICAN Airlines (AA) and Expedia agreed on Monday to a memorandum of understanding that will allow the companies to resume doing business together with immediate effect.
Access to fares and schedule information of AA and its subsidiary American Eagle has been restored for search and ticketing on Expedia and Hotwire sites worldwide via global distribution system (GDS) technology.
This brings to a close their three-month-old dispute over the airline’s plans to force agents into using its Direct Connect booking system rather than their GDS (TTG Asia e-Daily, January 6).
