Delta To Add New Routes From Austin, What Does This Mean

Delta Airlines, an Atlanta-based carrier, is adding daily flights from Austin to Phoenix. While this sounds like normal expansions, this means a lot more. They are coming to American Airlines' mini hub and have been adding routes to Seoul, and over 30 other daily departures. Already, Delta has added a flight attendant base in Austin. They’re talking about offering up to 150 daily flights from the city. In the fall, on an earnings call, Delta explained how Austin is great for credit card revenue. Austin is now a turf war dominated by Delta.
