Many FA’s say a AUS FA base is imminent. Likely Delta pumping out a few more routes outta AUS to justify it.
I bet they get it next year with more AUS route announcements for 26’. ~4 years from that is 2030 with 15 gates (or hopefully more) for DL and a pilot base
Side note - AUS is already a Delta Connection pilot domicile via SkyWest. Lot of potential to up-gauge existing routes and JV’s like AF&KE eyeing AUS soon as well
