Delta
Air Lines is deepening its commitment to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport
(AUS) with the launch of four new nonstop routes and expanded frequencies on
two existing ones. Beginning November 2025, customers can fly directly to Miami
(MIA) and Denver (DEN), with new connections to Columbus (CMH) and Kansas City
(MCI) starting June 2026. Service to San Francisco (SFO) and Indianapolis (IND)
will also increase, reflecting strong demand in key business and leisure
markets.
“With
these new routes and expanded service, Delta is building on a strong foundation
in Austin and creating more ways for our customers to get where they want to
go,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning. “It’s
another step in delivering the network, convenience and premium experience that
sets Delta apart as Austin’s leading global carrier.”
Local
impact and airport growth
Austin-Bergstrom’s
CEO Ghizlane Badawi welcomed the expansion: “This is another exciting
investment in our community from Delta. We are so grateful for their
partnership and shared mission of connecting Austin and Central Texas travelers
to more nonstop destinations. We look forward to continued collaboration as we
expand and improve our airport.”
Details
of new routes
Denver
(DEN): Starting Nov. 9, 2025 – twice daily via SkyWest (Embraer 175).
Miami
(MIA): From Nov. 22, 2025 – one daily flight on a Boeing 737-800.
Columbus
(CMH): From June 7, 2026 – daily service via SkyWest (Embraer 175).

Indianapolis

The
Embraer 175 aircraft offer Delta First, Comfort and Main Cabin seating, with
modern interiors, larger windows and more space for passengers.
Strengthening
Austin as a hub
Delta
has carried more than one million passengers to and from Austin in 2025 so
far—a 12% year-over-year increase. New routes to Palm Springs (November) and
leisure destinations in Mexico (Cancun and Cabo San Lucas in December) will
further expand the network.
Austin
also hosts one of the most popular Delta Sky Clubs, renowned for its
Texas-inspired design and mezcal-focused beverage program. In October, Delta
will open a permanent flight attendant base in the city, reinforcing its
long-term commitment to Central Texas.
“This
is fantastic news for the Lone Star State,” said Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
“Delta’s decision to open a flight attendant base and continue its expansion in
Austin will create more travel choices, bring hundreds of good-paying jobs,
boost local businesses, and further cement Texas as a national leader in growth
and innovation.”
