Delta is upping its ambitions in Texas, a longtime stronghold of American Airlines and Southwest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Austin could be on its way to becoming Delta\u2019s next hub: The carrier opened a base with 100 flight attendants at the airport, secured 15 gates, and is opening another lounge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Delta is launching the airport\u2019s first nonstop service to Europe with a route to Paris that\u2019s set to begin operations on March 27, 2027. And at Delta\u2019s merch store, under a section where it sells merchandise themed around its hubs, it is selling Austin-themed pint glasses, keychains, and t-shirts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Delta CEO Ed Bastian told the \u201cAirlines Confidential\u201d podcast Wednesday that the carrier wants to be bigger in Texas, seeking more growth in Austin and San Antonio.\u00a0<\/p>\n
