Item 5.02		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

          On April 7, 2011, Richard P. Fox resigned as a director and member of the audit and compensation committees of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”). As previously reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2011, Mr. Fox notified the Company that he did not intend to stand for reelection at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to devote more time to his other business and personal interests. Mr. Fox resigned prior to the expiration of his term at the Annual Meeting, after the nominating and corporate governance committee identified a suitable director replacement who was available to begin service immediately.

          Effective April 12, 2011, the Board of Directors appointed Mark S. Britton to the Board. Mr. Britton was appointed as a Class I director and as a member of the audit and compensation committees to fill the vacancy on the Board created by the departure of Mr. Fox and will serve for the term expiring at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Britton will stand for election by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting on June 1, 2011. On April 12, 2011, the Board also appointed Kristina M. Leslie to serve as Mr. Fox’s replacement as chair of the audit committee.

          There are no related party transactions with Mr. Britton required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
