City of Austin has approved GE Commercial Aviation Services for the construction, operation and maintenance of a low-cost airport terminal.
The new terminal will serve "ultra-low-cost" airlines including a new Mexican airline vivaAeroBus, which has agreed to fly between Austin and five Mexican destinations. The airlines fares range as low as $5 to $30. The airline is aiming to operate flights by Thanksgiving.
The new terminal will be accessible off Burleson Road rather than the airport's main entrance off State Highway 71. Ramps would take passengers to the plane rather than jetway connectors.
