Expedia to lay off 100 employees at Austin office

Expedia is planning to permanently lay off 100 employees at its Austin corporate offices near The Domain in North Austin. The cuts are tied to ongoing restructuring and are scheduled to begin on April 1, following a WARN notice filed in late January with Texas regulators. The layoffs are part of broader Expedia Group restructuring efforts, which have included job cuts in multiple locations, including a separate reduction of 162 roles in Seattle and some remote positions. Expedia cites operational efficiency, strategic restructuring, shifts in travel demand, and increased investment in automation and AI-driven technology across its platforms. Impacted roles are largely corporate and support positions, while core customer-facing booking operations are expected to continue.
