Austin’s trajectory is nothing short of extraordinary — and one of the clearest indicators of that growth is the explosive expansion at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS).

Now classified as a large-hub airport, AUS has shattered passenger records, serving more than 21 million travelers in 2025 alone. Eight of the ten busiest days in the airport’s history occurred in just the past two years. Even more telling? AUS is ranked among the fastest-growing large and medium hub airports in the United States. Airlines aren’t just maintaining service — they’re expanding it. With 80+ nonstop destinations, increased international routes, and major carriers adding frequency and capacity, the aviation industry is clearly bullish on Austin’s future.

This level of investment signals tremendous confidence in the region’s continued population growth, business expansion, and economic strength. More routes and more seats mean greater accessibility for companies relocating or expanding here, stronger tourism numbers, and deeper global connectivity. As airlines add service and the airport undergoes multi-billion-dollar expansion projects, the ripple effects are powerful: new jobs, increased revenue, infrastructure improvements, and sustained demand for housing across the Austin metro.

For homeowners, buyers, and investors alike, this momentum supports long-term confidence in our local real estate market. Growth at AUS is more than travel convenience — it’s a direct reflection of Austin’s economic vitality and its position as one of the most dynamic markets in the country.
