Airline online giant wins round one

IF the US Department of Justice (DoJ) clears the way, Orbitz will be formally launched in June. The US Department of Transport (DoT) has seen no antitrust issues in the launch of Orbitz - the proposed multi-airline online sales venture. Orbitz ceo, Jeff Katz, expects Orbitz to eventually win between 20% and 30% market share of all online travel sales. (Mark Gray)
