  • AUS Airport Overview
    Austin-Bergstrom International Airport AUS - also known as "ABIA Airport" - opened for passengers in 1999 on the site of a refurbished air force base. It is the gateway to the City of Austin and to Central Texas. AUS airport has two major terminals: the main terminal, a/k/a the Barbara Jordan Terminal (named after US Senator) and the South Terminal.

    ABIA's new South Terminal, opened in 2008, is the first facility in the United States intended to accommodate low-cost airlines. VivaAerobus is the first airline offering daily scheduled flights to and from Cancun and Monterrey, Mexico. FunJet, a charter, offers vacation destination to Riviera Maya. More airlines and destinations are planned to follow. The streamlined terminal operates differently from other terminals. The passenger's journey has been simplified by reducing the walking distance from check-in to the aircraft, and from the aircraft to baggage claim. There are no jet bridges or complicated baggage handling systems, allowing airlines using the terminal to pass the savings to the customer. Parking is located a short walk from the terminal building. A range of food and beverage, news and gift, tax and duty free outlets are available to passengers.

    Although the aviation industry is going through challenging times, the Austin-Bergstrom Airport administration believes that it cannot compromise on customer service and traveler safety. It hopes that the Aviation Department uses creative approaches to reduce its operating costs and generate revenue. As a revenue-generating airport, it must make a profit to operate and pay for airport improvements. By doing so, the airport runs and has run without burdening the City budget or tax payer since 1982.

    Airlines have shown confidence by adding new non-stop destinations and new airlines have begun serving Austin. AUS Airport businesses have shown their confidence in the Austin market as well. New restaurants and gift shops continue to open in the terminal.
