Delta Air Lines is launching two new flight routes between Austin, Texas, and Phoenix, Arizona, while expanding its upcoming new service between Austin and Bozeman, Montana.
From November 9 this year, the carrier will operate twice-daily nonstop flights between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), the company said in a statement. Connecting central Texas with Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, the new route offers easy access to destinations such as Scottsdale and Sedona in Arizona.
Delta will also extend its new service between Austin and Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), which begins this summer, into the winter season.
The new summer route will launch with a Saturday-only service on June 13, 2026, and will be expanded to a daily service from December 19, 2026, through March 28, 2027. The new route will help facilitate travel to Montana during peak ski season, with many travelers heading to the state for a winter escape to Yellowstone National Park.
“Austin continues to be an important and growing city for Delta,” Amy Martin, Delta’s vice president of network planning, said in a statement. “By adding service to Phoenix and expanding our Bozeman route into the winter season, we’re giving customers in Austin even more access to top-requested destinations while strengthening connections to key business markets across the West.”
Delta will serve 30 destinations from Austin by December 2026. Later this year, the airline will also be launching new routes to Asheville in North Carolina (Asheville Regional Airport, AVL), Columbus in Ohio (John Glenn Columbus International Airport, CMH), Kalispell in Montana (Glacier Park International Airport, FCA), and Kansas City in Missouri (Kansas City International Airport, MCI).
This year will also see Delta operate its biggest trans-Atlantic schedule yet, with seven new flights to Europe being launched from Boston in Massachusetts, New York City, and Seattle in Washington State in the spring and summer of 2026.
“In summer 2026, Delta will operate over 650 weekly flights to nearly 30 destinations across Europe, marking the largest trans-Atlantic schedule in Delta’s history and offering unmatched choice and connectivity across its hubs,” the airline said in November.
The new flights to Europe including ones from Boston to Madrid, Spain (launching May 6, 2026), Boston to Nice, France (launching May 16, 2026), New York City to Olbia, Sardinia (May 20, 2026), New York City to Porto, Portugal (May 21, 2026, New York City to Malta (June 7, 2026), Seattle to Rome, Italy (May 6, 2026) and Seattle to Barcelona, Spain (May 7, 2026).
