expedialogo111Expedia is cutting jobs at Orbitz two months after acquiring the travel booking website for $1.6 billion.

A company spokesperson confirmed the layoffs on Friday but did not provide details on how many positions were cut, nor in what areas.

“I can confirm we shared people decisions with OWW employees,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “As we go through this process our goal remains to find roles for as many OWW employees as possible. We have nothing further to share at this time.”

Expedia revealed the layoffs in an SEC filing on Friday, as noted by the Puget Sound Business Journal. The company expects to spend $130 million to $150 million on severance and compensation benefits, $70 million of which was recorded in its third quarter earnings report.

Expedia first announced in February that it would purchase Orbitz, its former rival, and completed the acquisition in September after the U.S. Justice Department announced that it wouldn’t challenge the deal.

Expedia also acquired Travelocity for $280 million in January and announced earlier this month that it will acquire Airbnb-rival HomeAway for $3.9 billion.

In addition, Expedia has also gobbled up international competitors to expand into new geographies and markets. It acquired Australia’s Wotif.com in July 2014, took a majority stake in its joint venture with AirAsia in February and invested $270 million in Latin America’s Decolar.com in March.

These deals are closing as Expedia moves from its headquarters from Bellevue to a new Seattle waterfront campus in 2019, taking over the former Amgen campus along Elliott Bay.
