American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth) will discontinue displaying and selling tickets through Orbitz (www.orbitz.com) and its subsidiary Orbitz for Business.
American pulled its listings as a result of a court order. On December 21, Judge Martin Agran, Circuit Court of Cook County, denied a request for an injunction filed by Travelport LP. Travelport owns a 48 percent share in Orbitz. Travelport was seeking to prevent American from pulling its flights on Orbitz.

American had warned earlier this year that it would stop selling tickets on Orbitz on December 1 if Orbitz did not use a direct link to the airline’s inventory. A court in November temporarily blocked that move.
