2024 had many air service milestones for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). With new airlines, exciting milestones, and 11 nonstop destinations added to AUS, we’re continuing to elevate your travel experience. Let’s dive into what made this year special and celebrate some major highlights together.

New Airline Partner: Viva Aerobus!

We were thrilled to welcome Viva Aerobus to the AUS family this year! This dynamic, low-cost airline launched nonstop service to Monterrey, Mexico (MTY) on March 22, 2024. Monterrey—known for its breathtaking mountains, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine—became more accessible than ever. With Viva Aerobus offering affordable and convenient flights, Austin travelers now have an incredible new destination to explore.

This isn’t the first time Monterrey has been in the spotlight at AUS. Viva Aerobus initially launched nonstop service to MTY on March 3, 2022, and the route grew immensely in popularity. Now, it’s back and better than ever, providing an even stronger connection between Austin and this vibrant Mexican city.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a business trip, or a culinary adventure, Monterrey is waiting for you. We couldn’t be more excited about this partnership and what it means for our community.

Celebrating 10 Years with British Airways

Let’s raise a glass (or a cup of tea)! British Airways celebrated its 10th anniversary at AUS. For a decade, they’ve connected Austinites to London Heathrow (LHR), one of the world’s busiest and most iconic airports. This nonstop service has been a gateway to Europe for travelers from Austin, making it easier than ever to explore destinations across the U.K., Europe, and beyond.

Over the past 10 years, British Airways has become more than just an airline partner; they’ve been an integral part of the AUS story. From their outstanding service to their state-of-the-art aircraft, they’ve continually raised the bar for international travel from Austin. Here’s to 10 more years (and beyond) of connecting Austin to the world!
