American Airlines’ Fares Return to Expedia and Hotwire – Seeking Alpha

Earlier in January, we heard that American Airlines’ fares and links were removed completely from travel bookings site Expedia (EXPE), after the two companies failed to come to a distribution agreement. Today, American Airlines and Expedia have made peace, announcing a new ” memorandum of understanding” that will allow the companies to resume doing business together effective immediately.

Financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, but clearly, the airline and travel site were able to come to a mutual agreement that suited their interests financially. American had a similar issue with travel search site Orbitz (OWW), and also removed its listings in late December 2010.
