Key Takeaways:

Delta is adjusting its domestic network later this year to align with consumer demand, resulting in both service reductions and expansions.
Key service discontinuations include the Austin-Midland route (a complete station exit for Midland) by November 9, 2025, and flights between Las Vegas and Northern California airports (San José, Sacramento) in January.
Conversely, Delta is expanding its Austin network by adding new flights to Denver, Columbus, and Kansas City, while also boosting frequencies to San Francisco and Indianapolis.

Delta will make changes to its domestic network later this year, including adjustments that affect service in both Texas and California. The carrier said the moves are part of ongoing efforts to align its schedule with demand trends.

A Delta spokesperson confirmed that one of the changes will take place in Central Texas, where service between Austin and Midland will end this fall.

Airport Exit

This will be a complete station exit for the carrier, as Midland is not served from the airline’s other hubs. Service in this market began last year.

“Delta will discontinue its Austin–Midland (AUS–MAF) route effective Nov. 9, 2025, as we adapt our schedule to align with consumer demand,” the spokesperson said. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and remain committed to serving Central Texas as the leading global carrier in Austin.”

In addition to the Midland suspension, Delta will also end service between Las Vegas and two Northern California airports: San José and Sacramento. Both routes will end in January, according to Cirium Diio schedule data.

The airline is simultaneously adding flights from Austin to Denver, Columbus, and Kansas City, while boosting frequencies to San Francisco and Indianapolis. Service between Austin and McAllen also remains part of the carrier’s South Texas network.
