"We’re excited to see Delta Air Lines expand its service at XNA with the addition of Austin," expressed Aaron Burkes, CEO of Northwest Arkansas National Airport. "This new route reflects the continued growth of Northwest Arkansas and the demand for more nonstop travel options."
Delta flights will depart XNA daily at 6 a.m. on a 76-seat Embraer 175 aircraft. The flight arrives in Austin at 7:50 a.m. on March 8, and departs Austin at 8:59 p.m. on March 9, arriving at XNA at 10:49 p.m. Fares start at $237 for a round-trip on March 8-9.
