Orbitz for Business has launched Orbitz for Business International, a customized solution designed for companies with international travel requirements. The new business hopes to first offer in-market support in Canada, the UK and Australia, Orbitz's key international markets. Orbitz for Business International already provides global fulfillment and call center support, and is capable of multiple language and time/date formats and more than 200 currency views.

Although no specific expansion plans have yet been laid, executives say that "logical extensions" would reach first into Europe — probably Germany, France and Italy — and then into South America. Orbitz is already agency-of-record for more than 2,000 companies, all in the US, with data delivered through TRX Traveltrax.

Orbitz Worldwide's Corporate Travel Solutions Group, comprised of Orbitz for Business and Travelport for Business, is taking on a new name and a single brand identity. Orbitz for Business is now the official name for the company's corporate travel product.
