In 2024, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) achieved significant milestones, reporting a total of 21.1 million passengers, marking the second busiest year on record for the airport. The increase in passenger numbers reflects the steady growth of the city and AUS's dedication to enhancing travel experiences.
