The battle between American Airlines and its online travel agency enemies has stepped up another gear with the airline claiming there is so far no impact at all on ticket sales.
       
Just seven days after Expedia removed American Airlines’s fares from search results, in part supporting Orbitz and also the agency-GDS distribution model, airline executives are trying to hit back.

In a statement, AA says it has seen an increase in overall ticket sales (year-on-year) since its dispute with Orbitz took another twist early last week and again following the spat with Expedia.
