Barbara Jordan Terminal at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

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 honorable Barbara Charline Jordan was, and continues to be, a heroine to many. In fact, Austin’s airport terminal was named in her honor.

Jordan was a trailblazer who broke many glass ceilings as she was:

  • The first Black woman elected to the Texas State Senate
  • The first B…

Rendering of the departures level of the Atrium Infill

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…

From to bottom: Thank you, Martha! Celebrating 17 years Helping Travelers at AUS. A photo of two people smiling at the camera.

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.
