May was the first time more than 2 million passengers traveled through ABIA in a single month. That topped all-time records set in March and April. Since then, airlines have added more flights.
As Austin-Bergstrom International Airport smashes all-time passenger records, city officials who run the airport are planning to squeeze even more flights through the Barbara Jordan Terminal's 34 gates.
Preliminary estimates forecast the number of seats on flights out of Austin will keep growing through the year, culminating in a 45% increase over 2019 levels in November and a whopping 47% gain in December. ABIA still has an incentive program to lure international flights to Austin by offering airlines fee waivers and help with marketing. An incentive program for domestic flights has been curtailed, Kazanoff said.
"Airlines are responsible for their operations and it remains unprecedented for [ABIA] to impose a daily passenger or flight cap like some of the airports in Europe in the UK have done recently," airport spokesperson Sam Haynes said in an email.
