In an age of climate crisis and heightened environmental awareness, we believe it’s every institution’s job to aim lower – reduce activities that are harmful to the environment – and higher – increase contributions and activities that impact the environment in positive ways and offset harmful activities.

As an airport, we run a critical, 24/7 operation for Austin and the Central Texas region. We do our part in assessing the daily operations and activities that are under our (the airport, not the airlines or our partners) control to find either alternative or more environmentally friendly solutions, or ways to reduce our reliance…

Festival

Four words that get Austin’s hips moving and excited visitors flocking to our town for two 3-day weekends of live music, food, fun and festival flags. The event is hosted at Zilker Park, located in the heart of Austin, and sees thousands of attendees a day. In addition and relation to that, it requires there to be many road closures around the park area so that attendees can safely get to the festival.

Air travel is amazing. A marvel in and of itself. I mean, we really went above and beyond with that one. Right now, there are humans going 500+ miles an hour 30,000+ feet above our heads – HUH?!

But one thing that isn’t a marvel and remains true about air travel: it’s stressful. Buying tickets for the best price and time, packing luggage for you and the family, coordinating getting to and from the airport, going through security, checking luggage, being on time and keeping your BPM healthy the whole time. It’s a lot to juggle.
