Delta Air Lines announced five new routes from Austin-Bergstrom
International Airport, starting in March 2025.
Delta unveiled plans to add nonstop service to Northwest
Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City, Florida, beginning on March
9. This daily flight will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest on an
Embraer ERJ-175 equipped with First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
For travelers looking to enjoy Spring Break and Mardis Gras
in New Orleans, the airline also recently announced service from Austin to Louis
Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, starting on February 27.
“Delta has made its commitment to Austin known, and these
new routes and the 55 peak-day departures planned for Summer 2025 reaffirm
that,” Delta Senior Vice President Joe Esposito said. “This is on top of the
already 20 percent seat capacity increase we put into service in April
connecting Austin to new destinations in major corporate and leisure markets
both within Texas and outside the state — onward throughout our global network.”
The carrier’s new service from Austin to Memphis—the only
nonstop link between the two cities—and Indianapolis will begin on May 7. Both
daily flights will be operated by SkyWest on an Embraer ERJ-175 equipped with
First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
On June 8, Delta will round out its latest expansion with nonstop
service to San Francisco International Airport and Tampa International Airport.
The daily flights will be operated on Delta’s state-of-the-art Airbus A220-300
aircraft equipped with First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
SkyMiles customers traveling onboard the aircraft will have
access to free Wi-Fi onboard. Together with seat back in-flight entertainment,
this aircraft is perfect for business and leisure travelers.
“We continue to listen and respond to what Austin needs as
it grows, and we have a dedicated corporate sales team at the ready to get all
customers to, from and through this crucial tech and business destination,”
Delta Vice President Scott Santoro said.
