I'm curious to see how that works for Delta when all the current expansion at AUS is done. Imagine they'll start with 60-100 flights?
Word is they are going pretty big with Austin. At least 60 flights by the end of the year and to non-hub cities. They aren't making it a mainline hub just for more flights to ATL, LAX, MSP, or DTW. That is a pretty big deal and they already layed off and rehired all the Ramp agents and switched them from DGS (Their third party contractor they use for smaller airports) to mainline Delta employees.
Expect much more Domestic Non-Hub Cities and international to at least AMS right now and others down the road.
So now Austin is a mainline hub with a Delta Skylounge.
That isn't good for SAT. I don't think we will lose many flights other then ATL (just because SAT is already running 7-8 flights a day there) but Austin will really kill any shot of Delta really expanding their footprint in SAT. They only have 3 gates which they use right now.
