Fast-growing Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) will add 32 new gates as part of a more than $5 billion expansion.<\/p>\n
The airport will build two new remote satellite concourses as part of the expansion program: Concourse B with 26 gates and Concourse M with six gates. The plan also includes new taxiways and other infrastructure to support the expansion, all of which are due for completion by the mid-2030s.<\/p>\n
AUS’ existing terminal and Concourse A currently have 34 gates.<\/p>\n Southwest Airlines, the largest airline at AUS, will gain eight gates for a total of 18 in the new Concourse B, the airport said<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n In December 2025, Dallas-based Southwest announced plans to open a crew base this March. It will be staffed with more than 2,000 flight attendants and pilots.<\/p>\n Delta Air Lines, which established AUS as a focus city<\/a> in 2018 and is challenging Southwest in the Texas capital with dozens of new routes<\/a>, will gain 11 gates for a total of 15 in Concourse A.<\/p>\n American Airlines will have nine gates, United Airlines five gates and Alaska Airlines one gate in Concourses A and B under the plan. Another 11 gates will be available to other U.S. and foreign airlines, including Delta partners Aeromexico, KLM and WestJet.<\/p>\n The expansion comes after years of blockbuster growth at AUS that has strained the airport’s facilities. AUS handled 19.8 million travelers from January through November 2025, the latest airport data shows. That represents a nearly quarter increase from the same period in 2019.<\/p>\n
