About
Arriving at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport
Austin-Bergstrom has grown rapidly alongside Austin's booming tech industry. The single-terminal airport handles an increasing number of business travelers heading to companies like Tesla, Apple, Google, and Samsung.
The Barbara Jordan Terminal is compact and easy to navigate. All airlines operate from the same building, making pickups straightforward.
The airport is 8 miles southeast of downtown Austin, but I-35 congestion — especially during SXSW, ACL, and Formula 1 events — can make the drive unpredictable. A landing alert helps time your departure.
