San Antonio airport lands $20 million from feds

A rendering proposal of what the curbside walkway would look like in the new San Antonio airport Terminal.San Antonio International Airport, set to undergo a $2.5 billion expansion, is getting $20 million this year from a Federal Aviation Administration fund for airport upgrades afterThe city will use the grant to build a 37,000-square-foot ground loading facility for Terminal A, which will create space for five additional gates. Construction could begin as soon as this summer.

“The work that we’ve been doing with the FAA on advocating for San Antonio is paying off, and that’s indicative in this grant,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said Monday. The ground loading facility will allow airlines to board passengers from the tarmac out of five designated gates. It’s part of the city’s expansion plan, which will create a new terminal that’s more than double the size of San Antonio International’s two existing terminals.“Airports are an important front step for visitors, for residents, for anybody that comes to San Antonio, and for a generation, it’s been a little bit of an underwhelming experience for a lot of folks,” Nirenberg said.

As it did last year, San Antonio sought $50 million in federal funding through the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed into law in late 2021. Up to $150 million total was available this award cycle for the nation’s midsize airports, which serve between 5 to 15 million passengers annually, said Airport Director Jesus Saenz.
