The 2040 Master Plan for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) took 18 months to prepare and included forecasting, demand-capacity analysis, alternatives analysis and community involvement. Approved by Austin City Council and the FAA, the 2040 Master Plan serves as a roadmap to the future expansion and modernization of AUS. To learn more about development of the 2040 Master Plan, click here. 

While the 2040 Master Plan serves as a vision for the future of AUS, what will ultimately be constructed over the next several years is called the Airport Expansion & Development Program (AEDP).

Airport Expansion & Development Program

Note: information about the Airport Expansion Program released prior to COVID-19 is now subject to change.

Following COVID-19, AUS re-strategized the Airport Expansion Program to meet our Recovery Profile. This re-strategized program is called the Airport Expansion & Development Program. The AEDP will increase capacity at AUS using a strategic approach, including optimizing the Barbara Jordan Terminal and enabling our future expansion with utility and airfield infrastructure. Timelines for projects will be different than were originally anticipated prior to COVID-19. 

The Airport Expansion & Development Program will:

• Be scalable to meet the demand capacity of our City and AUS airline partners​

• Support Austin’s growing economy​

• Provide opportunities for small and local businesses​ ​

• Fulfill the vision of the 2040 Master Plan

AUS anticipates some contracting opportunities for the AEDP to become available during summer 2021.
