U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said Monday he will work to help San Antonio secure more federal infrastructure funding for airport improvements.
U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro talks Monday about the importance of getting additional federal funding to improve San Antonio International Airport.On three days of the recent spring break week, the San Antonio International Airport saw passenger numbers surge higher than the levels seen in 2019.
The largest part of the plan is adding a third terminal south of Terminal A that is estimated to cost nearly $1 billion. The infrastructure bill also makes available a competitive grant for terminal and roadway projects. Medium-size airports like San Antonio are eligible for grants of $150 million annually for five years, with the city required to pick up 20% of a project’s tab.
Airlines serving the San Antonio airport offer 40 nonstop flights, and Saenz said he expects that to grow to 43 by the end of the year. Also, with added service to Mexico, there are 59% more international flights now than in 2019. Councilman Clayton Perry told Saenz he wanted to know where the remaining funds would come from for airport improvement projects.
