ViaAir has announced nonstop service from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) to Steamboat Springs, Colorado – Hayden/Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN). This nonstop route announcement from Austin to the popular ski destination will begin service on Dec. 13.
ViaAir’s new nonstop flight service between Austin and Steamboat Springs / Hayden will operate three times per week on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The flights will arrive and depart from the South Terminal from Dec. 13, through April 1, on an Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft with 50 seats.
“The new ViaAir Steamboat Springs nonstop connects Central Texas ski enthusiasts to a great winter resort destination,” said Jim Smith, executive director, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. “We welcome ViaAir’s continued growth at the Austin airport.”

“Working with ViaAir and Embark provides Steamboat a completely new, affordable resource for bringing winter guests to Ski Town, U.S.A.,” said Rob Perlman, president and chief operating officer for Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. “Providing a nonstop route for guests from Austin, along with unbeatable inaugural fares, means more powder hounds can enjoy Steamboat’s world-famous Champagne Powder snow this season.”
Steamboat Springs is one of the premier snow sports and ski destination in the US. The area is known for its ski resort and natural hot springs. ViaAir will operate the flights, and Embark Aviation will manage the commercial elements.
