San Antonio International Airport (SAT) is undertaking a significant expansion project, valued at $2.5 billion, aimed at accommodating future growth and enhancing passenger experience. The airport, located eight miles north of downtown San Antonio, serves 45 destinations across the United States, Mexico, and Europe with 14 airlines operating from its terminals.

In July, SAT recorded its busiest month ever with over 1.03 million passengers. This surpasses the previous record set in July 2023 of one million passengers. Jesus Saenz, Director of Airports at the City of San Antonio Aviation Department, stated: "We’re continuing to see record-breaking passenger levels at SAT. We are growing every day with new destinations and flights being added yearly."

The expansion includes a new terminal as part of the Terminal Development Plan (TDP), which aims to modernize facilities to meet growing demands and improve infrastructure. Ron Nirenberg, Mayor of San Antonio, remarked: "This new terminal will help the airport accomplish even more continued growth."

The ELEVATE/SAT initiative is also underway to enhance passenger experiences through various improvements in facilities and services. According to SAT Airport: "ELEVATE/SAT represents the design and creation of an elevated airport experience that our community deserves."

The TDP will add up to 17 gates by mid-2028 along with significant enhancements such as expanded retail spaces and improved screening areas for international services.

Additionally, a ground load facility is being developed with three new ground gates offering enhanced amenities for travelers.

Economically, the TDP is expected to generate over $2.8 billion during its lifespan while creating more than 16,000 jobs. Erik Walsh, San Antonio City Manager said: "Its development will create thousands of jobs... making our region a destination for innovation, investment and prosperity."
