Delta is continuing to position itself as the airline of choice for customers traveling to and from Austin with the introduction of five new routes from the Texas capital. Starting in March 2025, Delta will add daily nonstop service to Panama City, Florida. (ECP). Additionally, the airline will add new, nonstop service to Indianapolis (IND), Memphis (MEM), San Francisco (SFO) and Tampa (TPA), providing Austin customers more options than ever before.
“Delta has made its commitment to Austin known, and these new routes and the 55 peak-day departures planned for Summer 2025 reaffirm that,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s S.V.P. – Network Planning. “This is on top of the already 20% 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.”
"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," said Scott Santoro, V.P. - Sales.
MARCH ADDITIONS: SPRING BREAK & MARDI GRAS
Starting on March 9, customers can enjoy nonstop service to Panama City (ECP), perfect for Spring Break travel to the white sand beaches of the Florida panhandle. 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. This flight joins the recently announced service from Austin to New Orleans (MSY), launching Feb. 27, just in time for Mardi Gras and Spring Break.
MAY ADDITIONS: ONLY NONSTOP AUS-MEM SERVICE
Delta’s service from Austin to Memphis — the only nonstop link between the two cities — and Indianapolis will begin May 7, providing seamless connections to two key business and cultural travel destinations. Customers traveling to Memphis will enjoy quick access to iconic Beale Street and can decide for themselves which city has the best barbecue, while the route to Indianapolis creates additional opportunities for business travel. In addition to being popular with business travelers, these new routes will also provide greater connectivity for customers in Memphis and Indianapolis looking to travel to Austin. Both daily flights will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest on an Embraer ERJ-175 equipped with First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
JUNE ADDITIONS: BICOASTAL DELIGHTS
On June 8, Delta will round out its latest expansion with new, nonstop service to San Francisco (SFO) and Tampa (TPA). The route between Austin and San Francisco will unite two of the largest and most influential tech and innovation cities in the country. Meanwhile, the Austin-Tampa route will give Austin customers more ways to access Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast and one of the nation’s growing business destinations.
These 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. The A220-300 aircraft is set up in a 2x3 configuration, meaning there are 50% fewer middle seats. Additionally, the aircraft has large windows and expanded overhead bins. SkyMiles customers traveling onboard this aircraft will also have access to fast, free Wi-Fi onboard. Together with seat back in-flight entertainment, this aircraft is perfect for business travelers who want to be productive, as well as customers who want to sit back and relax and enjoy 1,000+ hours of entertainment content.
Two Delta Network Planning team members provide an inside look at some of the decisions that shape where and when customers can fly.
