Delta Air Lines has surpassed American Airlines to become the second-largest carrier at Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The Atlanta-based airline now trails only Southwest Airlines in terms of passenger numbers at the Texas airport.
In April, Delta transported over 302,000 passengers in and out of Austin, narrowly edging out American Airlines, which carried 298,500 passengers during the same period. This shift marks a significant change as American had held the second spot since 2021.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, American maintained its position despite global disruptions to air travel. However, Delta has been expanding its services across the United States and has introduced several new non-stop routes from Austin since 2023. These include three new routes set to launch this year: Cancun and San Jose del Cabo on December 20 and Palm Springs on November 8. Conversely, Delta has discontinued its route to Harlingen.
