Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is the primary airport serving Austin, the capital of Texas. Located about eight miles southeast of downtown Austin, AUS is a key transportation hub for Central Texas, handling millions of passengers annually. The airport is known for its efficient layout, modern amenities, and a distinctively Austin-inspired atmosphere featuring local art and food.

The airport has experienced fluctuations in passenger traffic in recent years, reflecting broader trends in the aviation industry. Notably, January 2025 saw a 5.38% decrease in passenger numbers compared to the same month in the previous year. This decline contrasts with consistent growth observed in prior years, such as an increase from 17.34 million passengers in 2019 to 21.08 million in 2022. Despite this decline, AUS anticipates a busy 2025, driven by strategic expansions, new route offerings, and Austin's dynamic economic landscape.
