San Jose Mineta International Airport continues to expand its reach with Delta Air Lines set to launch daily nonstop service to Austin beginning October 6. The new "nerd bird" route operates on an Airbus A319 and brings Delta’s daily departures from SJC to a total of 23. Travelers have requested Austin as a destination for some time, and the addition provides more direct options. Currently Southwest is the only airline with a direct flight to Austin from SJC. Alaska Airlines cancelled their direct flight last year.
The service links two major innovation centers. Business and personal connections between Silicon Valley and the Austin area stand to grow stronger through this convenient daily flight. City leaders have highlighted how the route supports economic ties, tourism, and cultural exchange between these dynamic regions.
Delta already operates nonstops from San Jose to Los Angeles, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and other cities. The Austin flights are available for booking now.
Southwest Airlines will add its own seasonal nonstop to Orlando starting in November. This leisure-focused route responds to rising demand from families and theme park visitors seeking easy access to major destinations.
SJC’s ongoing growth in routes reflects efforts to match the travel needs of the region’s residents and visitors.
