From the moment you step off your plane’s jet bridge and into the terminal, you know you’re in Texas when you land at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Familiar flavors, home-grown retail goods, savory scents and local brands are what make AUS so authentically Austin. As our airport and community grows, we’re looking for new ways to deliver local Austin and Central Texas experiences to our travelers, alongside trusted global brands for busy travelers on-the-go.
The Journey With AUS expansion and development program will provide new opportunities for small, local, and disadvantaged businesses to ensure that as we expand AUS, we’re staying true to our roots in supporting local brands and championing small businesses.
For more information on how to become an Airport Concession Disadvantages Business visit the City of Austin Small and Minority Business Resources Department and the FAA's website.
