Default What airlines have a "strong" presence at AUS?

I know it is not a big airport but I was wondering which major airline has the most flights in and out of Austin?

Thanks.

If you fly ExpressJet, I'd love to know how it went. Their prices, when I checked a couple of months ago, were really cheap.

I've got friends who use ExpressJet a LOT... they say it's about on par w/ Southwest (economy fares, no ultra-luxurious anything) and better than any of the regular airlines price-wise.

We used to use SW for all our in-state travel, but have recently started using it for more and more out of state. They do not officially 'hub' here, but they have a lot of flights that connect to their Hobby airport hub in Houston and their Love field hub, and now they fly quite a few direct flights, too.

Probably the second most used airline (again, this is just our company) is American, that flies a few direct, but mainly to Houston or Chicago hubs.

Actually, when I used Expressjet it worked perfect. Not "ultra luxurious" but to me it was better than the others. Free XM radio, free food (and lots of it), dollar beers. What else could I want? Didn't have the cattle call feel of Southwest and everyone was extremely nice. I had a good expreience with them.

The top 3 carriers from/to ABIA are: (approx percentage of operations)

SouthWest - 33%
American - 27%
Continental - 11%

Remaining are shared between 13 other carriers.

and from what I observed in my brief little scan of the wiki page, most of these flights are codeshares, aka partner airline flights.
