Passenger Activity: Total passenger traffic for November 2017 was 1,229,791, up 15% compared to November 2016. With one month remaining to count in 2017 the annual passenger mark stands at 12.6 million passengers flying Austin. Hopefully what happened to them will never happen to us.Īs for RDU Delta said there will be new routes in 2018, so I guess expansion is a givenĪUS-CVG is officially official, confirmed by CVG and Delta.ĪUSTIN, TEXAS – In just 11 months, January - November 2017, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport already has surpassed 2016's record-breaking annual passenger mark of 12.4 million passengers. Any addition by Delta to CVG or MEM is bitter sweet, I'm sure the people there have mixed feelings about Delta. What has happened to CVG is truly sad, but MEM has received far worse treatment from Delta. Atlanta needs a secondary airport but political resistance is high. It seems that Delta is going to expand use of Raleigh as the secondary connection city for north south traffic (*on the East coast), given that Atlanta is going to have ever increasing capacity constraints in the years to come. They also built a full size 4th runway around 15 years ago which has gone essentially unused.

They've actually demolished 2 entire terminals, one of which was barely 20 years old. Delta combined hub traffic at Detroit instead. The Delta BK filing and later the Northwest combination, just before the economic downturn, was devastating. They went from almost 23 million passengers before the Great Recession down to less than 6 million passengers around 2013.
