The result of several years of planning to upgrade and add capacity to the airport, the project is a long time coming following previous attempts, he added. The price tag for the new terminal is estimated at between $1 billion and $2 billion, a cost that airport officials said will be paid for with funding from FAA grants, the bipartisan federal infrastructure bill, airport revenue and fees and airport bonds.

In addition to a central processing area for ticketing and security, expansive waiting areas and concourses are planned.
The federal inspection station for international travelers now located in Terminal C will move to the new terminal and double in size. Three gates for wide-body aircraft, such as the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 that support flights to international destinations, will be built in the new terminal as well.
A major source of revenue is the airlines, which also determine the air service and destinations provided at the San Antonio airport.
