I feel like this is our best chance to truly become a city people overseas would consider. We get the most tourist than any other major Texas city but I feel there's not enough international visitors and major companies willing to move here. I mean Houston, Dallas, and now Austin just have the better infrastructure overall, I'm not including Austin's non loop having ass highways And still no light rail in sight even a direct route from Downtown to SAT
I'm pulling for San Antonio to have success with this project, but SAIA is landlocked and can't really grow out anymore. It's likely that any new construction will be the last on this site. San Antonio needs to consider looking at new land for a new airport down the line.
The San Antonio-Austin Metroplex deserves one large airport between both cities similar to DFW. SAT is landlocked and can't grow the way it needs to, the way it should be to attract airlines like British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates, Air France, Qatar, Quantas etc. I'm sure the skyline view driving down 281 South to downtown was why they didn't consider having it moved to the old Kelly AFB. They didn't want travelers driving up IH-35 from SouthPark Mall 😂
I’m also rooting for SAT, but I don’t see any mention or provision for future public rapid transit accessibility. And if this is supposed to be looking forward to 2040, I’d have hoped to see some mention. Most world class airports have some kind of accessibility other than car. Even LAX will have a direct light rail transit link, much less than ideal, but hey, it’s a start. Maybe, just maybe, San Antonio will have some sort of rapid transit by 2040…..
I'm always embarrassed when I have to pick up a guest from the airport. The inside decor is stuck in the 70's and the baggage claim area is small and looks like an afterthought. It's time to dig deep and build a new airport. San Antonio has been one of the fastest growing cities for the last 10 years or so. Anyone remember Stapleton in Denver. S.A. International and Stapleton, one in the same.
Since the airport only had a little over 9 million passengers and Austin had over 21 million passengers I don't see the need for so many more gates. Austin will be building a new mid field terminal because we are out of space with 33 gates.

That rapid transit will be in the form of BRT and the Boring Company's Loop.
What mechanical contractors got the job for the plumbing or hvac?

Since this is infrastructure will SAT be receiving monies from the recently passed "Infrastructure" bill? Let's get moving.

Please give this project to the local all the work done in terminal A is out of code and outdated and dangerously installed
the SAT airport is a big joke. The manager should have been fired years ago
