AUS temporarily loses a TSA checkpoint
Tuesday, February 6, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s Checkpoint 3 will remain closed until “sometime in 2026,” according to the city. The checkpoint, which is located at the far west end of the terminal, was shuttered on Monday night in order to move forward with the West Infill project that will expand the terminal as part of Journey With AUS. To help mitigate the impact of the closure, Checkpoint 2 has added two new lanes. When it reopens, Checkpoint 3 will have six to eight new lanes.
