Austin customers have more choices than ever with Delta’s most extensive flight schedule to date, including 11 new peak-day flights from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) starting April 22*. New service to Midland-Odessa and McAllen, Texas makes Austin a gateway for those cities to onward connections across Delta’s global network.
Additionally, to provide customers with more convenience, Delta is bolstering Austin service by adding an extra flight to both Cincinnati and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
Gateway to and from the Lone Star State
For the first time, Delta is positioning Austin as a key access point to facilitate connections to its larger global network.
Customers traversing through Austin to or from Midland-Odessa and McAllen will have access to nearly 50 peak-day nonstop flights to 15 U.S. airports including every Delta hub, as well as Las Vegas and Orlando. This expansive network offers abundant choices to explore destinations from coast to coast.
But that’s not all—Delta’s partners in AUS provide additional global connectivity with nonstop service to Mexico City (MEX) and Amsterdam (AMS).
“This expansion not only creates an access point to diverse opportunities for business, leisure, and cultural exploration spanning Texas and beyond but also solidifies Delta’s commitment to being a key player in Austin’s evolving landscape,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s S.V.P. – Network Planning. “Austin is growing rapidly, and this 20% increase in capacity mirrors that growth as we look to provide our customers with unparalleled convenience in the region.”
The added flights** will begin on April 22 and will fly on dual-class regional jets*** equipped with First Class and Delta Comfort+ to several destinations:
-
Nashville (BNA): Three daily flights, uniting Austin with the lively music scene of Music City, creating a new link between two entertainment capitals.
