Travelport, a leading provider of critical transaction processing solutions and data to global travel companies, and American Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, today announced that they have resolved all litigation between the two companies, and that they have reached a new long-term, global distribution agreement that enables continued access to shop and book American Airline flights via Travelport. Dechert LLP represented Travelport with respect to the two-year old litigation and advised the company with regard to the new commercial agreement. The terms of the settlement agreement require review and approval by the bankruptcy court presiding over AMR Corporation’s restructuring.
The Dechert team advising Travelport was led by Michael L. Weiner, Carolyn H. Feeney, Craig G. Falls and Justin N. Pentz, with valuable contributions made by Mike Cowie, Paul H. Friedman, Shmuel Vasser, Jill A. Ross, Sean P. McConnell, Brian Savage, Irene Ayzenberg-Lyman and C.B. Buente.
