Just this week, the City Council passed its $3.7 billion spending plan for Fiscal Year 2024. As KSAT reported, the airport system requested more funding for capital projects this year than last, in part to tackle new airport additions.

– Roger and Rosemary Thompson said they fly out of the San Antonio International Airport frequently. And, they’re usually not flying direct.

“We can’t always get the direct flights,” Roger said. “It winds up being half a day travel or an ordeal, sometimes almost an entire day.” The Thompson’s struggle is shared among many across San Antonio. Right now, the airport offers about 40 direct flights, with a nonstop to Philadelphia coming next summer. Also coming in 2024 is construction on the airport’s new terminal.

It’s something business groups, like the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, hope will bring new travelers and new direct flights to San Antonio. “I’m very hopeful,” Dave Peterson, the interim president and CEO at San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, said.“I think access is power,” Danny Zimmermann, the executive principal and CFO at Cleary Zimmermann Engineers, said. “Having more direct flight options just increases that economic activity.”
