Don't risk missing your flight. Airport officials warn that traffic will be heavy through summer.
AUSTIN, Texas — Following hours-long TSA lines that travelers faced at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport earlier this week, the airport announced that it was dealing with a jet fuel shortage.

There was an increase of travelers flying out of the airport Sunday and Monday.
“This week, airport leadership also met with the Consolidated Rental Car Facility operator and has requested an after-action report to thoroughly understand the cause of Monday morning's traffic back-up and to identify solutions to prevent it from reoccurring,” Austin airport stated via Twitter.The jet fuel shortage alert lifted this afternoon and normal fueling operations have resumed.
We're expecting busy days now through the summer, especially on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays and Mondays. The busiest time of day continues to be before 8 a.m.
