Travelers making their way through Austin-Bergstrom International Airport might notice the name of the main terminal: Barbara Jordan. But who was she, and why does her name greet millions of travelers each year?

- The first Black woman elected to the Texas State Senate
- The first B…
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is making the best use of its existing space—by filling it in! Currently, there is a lot of open space above the baggage claim area at AUS. With record-breaking passenger and airline activity growth over the last three years, AUS needs to transform from a medium-sized airport into a large airport. One critical step in our journey is to give more queuing space for ticket counters and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints as soon as we possibly can.
The Atrium Infill project will do just that — by expanding the departures level of the Barbara Jordan Terminal by 12,000 square feet! This is important because “AUS was origi…

Most people look forward to retiring with plans to kick back, relax, and—let's be honest—avoid dealing with people. However, that wasn’t the case for Martha. After retiring from her position as director of medical records at Austin Diagnostic Clinic, she still had a strong desire to help others. While searching for an interesting part-time opportunity, she discovered the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s Ambassador Volunteer Program and began her volunteering journey in 2008, continuing until this year, 2025. As we bid her farewell on her next journey, we want to take a moment to recognize her remarkable 17 and a half years of service to travelers from all around the world.
