SWA has major market share by quite a bit. SWA has 42% market share vs Delta's 15% and AAL 17%. Delta has made it known they want a bigger piece of it. It will go long way to the city of AUS if SWA firmly plants roots by opening a base. Especially as plans are finalized to build the new the B terminal. Delta has the ability to expand to places outside the range of the 737 in AUS. That's definitely top of mind in the GO. I'm not saying thats the new base but it's definitely in the conversation.
