Delta Air Lines is expanding its presence at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) with three new nonstop routes and increased frequencies on existing services, reinforcing its position as Austin's leading global carrier.

Starting November 9, 2025, Delta will launch twice-daily service to Denver (DEN), providing Austin travelers with convenient access to the Rocky Mountain region for both business and recreation. Two additional routes will begin on June 7, 2026: daily service to Columbus (CMH), connecting Austin to Ohio's growing tech and manufacturing hub, and twice-daily flights to Kansas City (MCI). All three new routes will be operated by Delta Connection partner SkyWest using Embraer 175 aircraft with Delta's three-class cabin configuration.

Delta is also boosting capacity on existing popular routes. San Francisco service will double from one to two daily flights beginning April 13, 2026, operated on Airbus A319 aircraft to support growing demand between these major tech centers. Indianapolis service will triple from one to three daily flights starting June 7, 2026, better connecting Midwest business and leisure travelers.

“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.”   

Growing Commitment

These additions bring Delta's Austin network to nearly 30 destinations, supporting the carrier's strategic growth in the vibrant Texas capital. Delta has already transported over one million passengers to and from Austin this year, representing a 12% year-over-year increase. Additional upcoming routes include domestic service to Palm Springs in November and international flights to Cancun and Cabo San Lucas in December.

Premium Experience

Austin travelers benefit from one of Delta's most popular Sky Clubs globally, featuring Texas-inspired design and a premium tequila and mezcal beverage program. The facility has earned the highest customer satisfaction ratings in Delta's Southern region for three consecutive years.
