CENDANT REITERATES IT EXPECTS TO COMPLETE GALILEO ACQUISITION IN 3Q 2001 AS
PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED

New York, NY 08-01-2001 -- Cendant Corporation (NYSE: CD) today reiterated
that it expects its acquisition of Galileo International, Inc. (NYSE: GLC)
to be completed in the third quarter of 2001 as previously announced.

Cendant's Chairman, President and CEO, Henry R. Silverman stated: "The
transaction has cleared the U.S. regulatory process and we are confident we
can respond promptly to any European Commission (EC) inquiries.
Furthermore, we expect that any investigation by the Justice Department
will have no impact on the timing of the Galileo transaction. Lastly, in
response to competitor concerns, we continue to emphasize that we will not
bias Galileo, or utilize information obtained through ownership of a GDS,
to favor any Cendant brand."

According to the Company, the EC requested information pertaining to the
relationship between Cendant's Avis unit and Avis Europe plc (London: AVE),
a separate, independently-owned company. Cendant expects the EC to declare
the notification to it complete when that information is furnished within
the next few days. The one-month review period by the EC is also expected
to be reinstated at that time.

forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current
expectations and the current economic environment. The Company cautions
that these statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the

the forward-looking statements are specified in Cendant's Form 10-K/A and
Galileo International, Inc.'s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2000, including the timing of the consummation of the Galileo acquisition
which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2001.

Such forward-looking statements include projections. Such projections were

and forecasts, nor have such projections been audited, examined or
otherwise reviewed by independent auditors of Cendant or its affiliates. In
