Delta’s Largest Austin Schedule

Adding quite a substantial amount of growth out of Austin, Texas, Delta Air Lines will be operating 11 new peak-day services as well as new services to Midland-Odessa and McAllen, Texas.

The two new destinations will commence from April 22, 2024. Midland-Odessa (MAF) will have three-daily services, and so will McAllen (MFE).

For Nashville (BNA) services will increase to three-daily services, Cincinnati (CVG) will have an additional daily service, as well as Raleigh-Durham (RDU).

These extra services will result in a 20% increase in capacity for the American carrier out of Austin and all services will be operated by dual-class regional aircraft with First Class and Delta Comfort+ cabins.
