History

In the late 1920’s, consideration was given to installing an airport. A location came up a few miles from downtown Austin. This became the Rober Mueller Municipal Airport from the beginning. The name was due to a former city council member. The airport gradually became too small for the increasing demand for flights.

There was also a military airport that has been built there since the Second World War. However, Bergstrom Air Force Base would shut down in the 1990’s. This was a perfect moment because several proposals had already been made by the local government, which were all rejected. The construction of the new airport should be on the old army base. The final construction of the new airport, which is now Austin Bergstrom Airport, was completed in 1999. It also took over all flights from Rober Mueller airport that year. Where it started with 1 runway and 1 terminal, 1 of each was added years later. In the first year, 6 million passengers used the airport, which has grown to 17 million in 2019.
