A third terminal is planned for San Antonio International Airport. It will have capacity for 17 more gates and will be situated next to the existing Terminal B on the northwest end of the airport’s current footprint.
“It is a very delicate dance that we do with the airlines because, ultimately, it’s the airlines themselves that pay for these facilities through the fees that they pay when they take off and land from San Antonio International,” Nirenberg said.
. And we’re in active conversations, specifically not just about gate capacity but about nonstop routes.”Getting a direct flight to DCA, or Reagan National Airport, in Washington, D.C., has been a longtime challenge for San Antonio because of the Perimeter Rule, which dates back to 1966.San Antonio is 1,600 miles away.Houston and Dallas are within that perimeter and have direct flights to Reagan National.
“The only difference is instead of walking through a jet bridge, you load on the ground through a set of stairs. It can be faster,” said O’Krongley. “And there are certain carriers, ultra-low-cost carriers, that like that model.”The new ground transportation center will be a separate building located across from the new terminal, which is where passengers will go to catch rides with Uber, Lyft, a taxi or a bus.
