is orbitz owned by delta
Unlike, say, Expedia, which is an independent online travel agent (it's owned by Microsoft) that displays fares provided by all carriers, Orbitz is owned by American Airlines, Continental, Delta, Northwest and United, which alone account for more than three quarters of the total U.S. air travel market.hat's because Southwest has never really been one of industry pack. Part of the difference is that Southwest has been the most consistently profitable airline over the last 30 years precisely at the expense of the other major carriers.
