Delta is positioning as one of Austin’s biggest carriers, airline leadership shared during its Investor Day presentation on Wednesday. The Atlanta-based airline has added a plethora of new routes from the Texas capital in recent months.
Now, the carrier is adding yet another new route. Beginning in 2025, the airline will start flying to Jacksonville, Florida. Flights will operate daily beginning on May 7, 2025.
Regional carrier SkyWest will operate the Austin-Jacksonville route on behalf of Delta with an Embraer E175 aircraft.
“We’re proud to launch nonstop service between Austin and Jacksonville, the sixth new market Delta will launch from the Texas capital by Summer 2025,” said David Hart, Delta’s managing director of network planning, in a news release. “This new route demonstrates our commitment to connecting Austin to more destinations, offering customers greater convenience and choice as the city continues to grow.”
According to Cirium Diio schedule data, the Austin to Jacksonville market was previously served by both American and Frontier. American dropped the route in January 2024 as part of a broad service reduction in Austin.
Delta is poised to become Austin’s second-biggest airline in 2025, just behind Southwest. This spot was previously held by American.
By July 2025, Delta plans to operate nearly 60 peak-day departures from Austin.
