Delta is once again bolstering its network from Austin, Texas, this time with a new international route. The Atlanta-based carrier has added several new routes from the city in recent months.
Service between Austin and Cancun, Mexico, will begin on Dec. 20, operating once daily on an Airbus A320 aircraft. The airline will go head-to-head with American and Southwest, which serve the market multiple times per day.
“Delta is the leading global network carrier at Austin-Bergstrom, operating nearly 60 peak day departures this winter,” said Paul Baldoni, Delta’s senior vice president of network planning, in a news release. “This new service to Cancun adds yet another popular leisure destination for our Austin customers.”
The Austin-to-Cancun route will be seasonal, running through mid-April 2026. In addition, Delta plans to add more seasonal offerings from Austin, including a second daily Orlando, Florida, service.
Growing in Central Texas
After American slashed its Austin network in 2024, Delta has doubled down, quickly positioning itself as the city’s No. 2 carrier. The airline’s departures from the airport have grown by 35% year over year, it said.
Delta has recently launched a slew of new routes from the Texas capital, with more starting in the coming months. These include Memphis, Tennessee; Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida; New Orleans; Indianapolis; and San Francisco.
