Delta is deepening its commitment to Central Texas with the launch of three new nonstop routes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), connecting travelers to Denver (DEN), Columbus (CMH) and Kansas City (MCI). In addition, Delta is increasing service on two existing routes, San Francisco (SFO) and Indianapolis (IND), providing even more options for customers traveling to and from Austin.
“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.”
“This is another exciting investment in our community from Delta,” said Ghizlane Badawi, AUS CEO. “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 the continued collaboration with the airline, especially as we make progress on expanding and improving our airport.”
These new and expanded routes give travelers convenient access to key business and leisure markets. With them, Delta now serves nearly 30 destinations from AUS, furthering its strategic growth in a city celebrated for its vibrant culture and booming tech scene.
New nonstop service from Austin:
Denver (DEN) – Launching Nov. 9, 2025, this gateway to the Rockies serves as a major hub for business and outdoor adventure. Service will operate twice daily through Delta Connection partner SkyWest.
Columbus (CMH) – Beginning June 7, 2026, this rising tech, manufacturing, and education center in the Midwest will be connected with once daily service through Delta Connection partner SkyWest.
Kansas City (MCI) – Starting June 7, 2026, travelers can enjoy twice-daily service to this city known for its rich culture, barbecue, and growing innovation economy, operating twice daily through Delta Connection partner SkyWest.
Each of these new nonstop flights will be operated on an Embraer 175 aircraft, equipped with Delta First, Delta Comfort and Delta Main. The Embraer 175 allows a quieter, more comfortable ride for customers with modern interiors, larger windows and more personal space.
Expanded service:
San Francisco (SFO) – Beginning April 13, 2026, Delta will increase service from one to two daily frequencies, supporting growing demand between these two major tech hubs. This service will be operated on Delta’s Airbus A319 aircraft, equipped with Delta First, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.

Investing in Austin’s growth
Delta has already carried more than one million passengers to and from Austin this year—a 12% increase year over year. That momentum continues with new and expanded service, including domestic flights to Palm Springs (PSP) launching in November, and service to Cancun (CUN) and Cabo San Lucas (SJD) launching in December. These additions keep customers moving and reinforce Delta’s commitment to connecting Austin with more of the destinations they love.
Customers in Austin also enjoy one of the most popular Delta Sky Clubs in the global network, known for its Texas-inspired design and premium tequila- and mezcal-focused beverage menu. For the last three years, it has ranked highest in customer satisfaction for the Southern region.
This October, Delta will also open a permanent flight attendant base in Austin, further strengthening its operational presence and long-term commitment to Central Texas.
“This is fantastic news for the Lone Star State! Delta’s decision to open a flight attendant base and continue its expansion in Austin will open more travel choices for Texans, bring hundreds of good-paying jobs, boost local businesses, and further cement Texas as a national leader in economic growth and innovation,” said Texas Senator Ted Cruz. “I am excited to see the opportunities this brings to our great state.”
