Location insights
Austin-Bergstrom is the fast-booming gateway on the old Bergstrom Air Force Base field, the front door to the Live Music Capital and one of the hottest tech-migration markets in the country. The Barbara Jordan Terminal has blown past its 15-million design capacity to about 22 million, and the Journey With AUS expansion is adding gates, checkpoints and a new concourse toward 31 million a year. Mornings push the early banks across the country, festivals like SXSW and ACL spike the traffic, evenings fill the arrivals halls and the taxi and CapMetro stands toward Sixth Street and the Capitol. One growing terminal, one Austin tech-and-music audience. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
