Delta is deepening its commitment to Central Texas with the launch of four new nonstop routes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), connecting travelers to Denver (DEN), Columbus (CMH), Kansas City (MCI) and Miami (MIA). In addition, Delta is increasing service on two existing routes, San Francisco (SFO) and Indianapolis (IND), providing even more options for customers traveling to and from Austin. “With these new routes and expanded service, Delta is building on a strong foundation in Austin and creating more ways for our customers to get where they want to go,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning. “It’s another step in delivering the network, convenience and premium experience that sets Delta apart as Austin’s leading global carrier.” "This is another exciting investment in our community from Delta,” said Ghizlane Badawi, AUS CEO. “We are so grateful for their partnership and shared mission of connecting Austin and Central Texas travelers to more nonstop destinations. We look forward to the continued collaboration with the airline, especially as we make progress on expanding and improving our airport.” These new and expanded routes give travelers convenient access to key business and leisure markets. With them, Delta now serves nearly 30 destinations from AUS, furthering its strategic growth in a city celebrated for its vibrant culture and booming tech scene. New nonstop service from Austin: Denver (DEN) – Launching Nov. 9, 2025, this gateway to the Rockies serves as a major hub for business and outdoor adventure. Service will operate twice daily through Delta Connection partner SkyWest. Miami (MIA) – Starting Nov. 22, 2025, customers can enjoy one daily flight to the gorgeous beaches and the vibrant atmosphere of Miami onboard Delta’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

Brilliant Lady welcomes Kelis aboard for the Miami MerMaiden voyage
Fresh off her dazzling New York debut, Virgin Voyages’ newest ship Brilliant Lady has been turning heads with her epic arrival moment on the Hudson and series of showcase events. On 17th October, she’ll trade the fall foliage for palm trees as she makes her highly anticipated Miami arrival. Marking the start of her Caribbean season, the eight-night Miami MerMaiden will blend big city buzz with tropical energy, headlined by none other than Grammy-nominated artist and culinary creator Kelis. High-energy performances on the high seas The one-time-only itinerary takes Sailors from Miami to Tortola’s lush landscapes, St. Maarten’s cultural crossroads and Virgin Voyages’ private Beach Club at Bimini. But the real headliner is on board: Grammy-nominated artist and Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef Kelis. Known for global hits like “Milkshake” and “Bossy,” Kelis is set to deliver a high-energy performance under the Caribbean stars on Brilliant Lady’s pool deck. The celebration doesn’t stop at the music: leaning into her culinary passion, Kelis will debut the indulgent Kelis Sundae on board. Slated to be served at The Wake, this decadent dessert was created exclusively for the Miami MerMaiden. It’s a first-of-its-kind treat that blends her artistry in both food and music, giving Sailors a taste of her creativity beyond the stage. Kelis herself remarked: “There's something magical about performing at sea and creating something deliciously special to celebrate such an epic moment aboard Brilliant Lady. Virgin Voyages gets that music and food tell stories, and I'm excited to share both sides of my passions with Sailors on this incredible Miami celebration." We love the nightlife In true Virgin fashion, the voyage also spotlights Miami’s legendary nightlife. A bespoke speakeasy experience will bring the city’s bar culture to sea, with cocktail menus curated in collaboration with local favorites The Sylvester, Bar Kaiju, Swizzle, and Better Days. This limited-edition experience captures the spirit of Miami’s electric evenings, adding a hometown flavour to the sailing. According to Virgin Voyages chief executive Nirmal Saverimuttu: “Miami has always been Virgin Voyages' home, so bringing Brilliant Lady here with an artist like Kelis feels like coming full circle. Her fearless creativity and boundary-pushing artistry perfectly capture the spirit of what we're building at sea.” Following in the footsteps of past Virgin headliners like Nicky Jam, Melanie C, and Boy George, the Miami MerMaiden underscores Virgin Voyages’ deep connection to music and culture. Brilliant Lady’s Miami debut is not only a milestone for the Virgin Voyages brand, but it’s also a love letter to the city where Virgin’s sailing story first began. Brilliant Lady’s arrival also unlocks a season of longer Caribbean getaways. In addition to her debut MerMaiden, she’ll chart courses south to the ABC islands, explore Colombia’s colorful coastlines, and call on Ocho Rios, offering Sailors an expanded menu of tropical escapes.
Miami International Airport bets on chatbot-hologram fusion to transform the passenger experience
Representative Image As airports race to adopt transformative technologies, Miami International Airport (MIA) is charting a bold path; blending automation, mixed reality, and human-centred design. Speaking ahead of his appearance at World Aviation Festival 2025 in Lisbon, Maurice Jenkins, Chief Innovation Officer IAP C.M. at MIA, revealed the airport’s top tech investment for 2025: an omni-channel chatbot integrated with interactive holograms. “You’ll be able to speak to a hologram and get real-time airport information without needing an app,” said Jenkins. “Whether it’s WhatsApp, Messenger or something else, we’re removing friction and making it natural. That’s what great tech should do.” Jenkins will be joining global aviation leaders at World Aviation Festival 2025, held from 7th-9th October at Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL). The event will bring together 6,000 attendees, 600 speakers, and 400 exhibitors, with dedicated tracks on AI, smart airports, digital transformation, and autonomous technology. Beyond tech – creating emotional touchpoints through sensory innovation While AI dominates headlines, Jenkins says true innovation is as much emotional as it is technological. MIA is exploring sensory branding, including a signature scent and “Miami drink,” designed to build a sense of place and extend the passenger experience beyond arrival gates. “When you get off the plane, why rush to baggage claim? Why not stay immersed in the journey?”, he said. This approach is part of Jenkins’ broader mission to establish a culture of innovation that reimagines customer experience and repositions the airport as a dynamic, adaptive ecosystem. “Innovation isn’t just about tech; it’s process improvement. It’s cultural shift,” he said. Maurice Jenkins Human-centred automation – robotics, autonomy and trust From cleaning robots to autonomous lawnmowers, Jenkins is embracing automation, but not at the expense of people. “We’re not substituting humans; we’re repositioning talent to add more value,” he explained. Miami Airport is also working with vendors on aircraft turnaround analytics and autonomous vehicle testing, drawing inspiration from airfield innovations in Hong Kong and Europe. On AI, Jenkins remains pragmatic. “Everyone’s chasing the panacea,” he said. “But we’ve seen real promise in AI for revenue optimization and customer experience. At the same time, we’re evaluating where it can deliver tangible operational benefits… not every airport is the same.” MIA’s tech roadmap includes experiments in parallel reality and continued partnerships with startups. Jenkins says some of these are “still under wraps.” But above all, it’s the mindset that matters… “We’re building a culture of innovation. Our executives are backing it. That’s what will change our airport… and the industry.” Maurice Jenkins will be live on stage in Lisbon as part of the Smart Airports & Innovation track at World Aviation Festival 2025.
