Austin‑Bergstrom breaks ground on six‑gate Concourse M, slated for 2028 opening
Austin‑Bergstrom International Airport has begun construction on a new midfield concourse with six narrow‑body gates. The facility will operate separately from the Barbara Jordan Terminal and is intended to relieve traffic while Concourse B and Concourse A are rebuilt.
