Maybe it's mentioned elsewhere, but they don't mention which aircraft they're using. Will this be an American mainline flight or an American Eagle flight? Either way, glad to have this nonstop back. Any word if Delta will bring us a nonstop to their Seattle hub? That's the one I'm patiently waiting for. |

Two transit articles caught my eye, both of which seem pretty pie in the sky.
“Rail between San Antonio and Austin is much closer than it’s ever been,” Wolff said. “There are a number of potential plans. The good part is that San Antonio and the Austin MPO [Metropolitan Planning Organization] are working together, and we’re now working with the Dallas-Fort Worth MPO. These are large, futuristic projects.” https://therivardreport.com/commissi...n-ever-for-sa/ San Antonio could expand the current airport or build another airfield as part of a new initiative taking an in-depth look at air travel, Mayor Ron Nirenberg said in an interview Tuesday. http://www.mysanantonio.com/business...photo-10507488 |
I don't know how to feel about the expansion of the airport or to build a new one.
Obviously it would have to be built on the southside as there is so much space for a new one close to DT... The current airport has so much potential... the runways just need to be lengthened to the north and it can fit two more terminals. All the money we JUST spent would be going to waste. |

Southwest....
I have read on Airliners.net that Southwest may begin the coveted Boston non-stop sometime next year! Also streak at SAT now at 15 months!:cheers:
Passenger Numbers Continue to Climb at San Antonio International Airport SAT experienced 687,536 passengers in the month of September. The year-to-date traffic totaled 6,665,150, which is also a record, and represents a 4.0% increase when compared to this time last year. Now at 15 consecutive months of growth, SAT’s success can be directly attributed to the airport’s expanded efforts towards air service development, broad air service marketing, and a recognition by air carriers’ of the region’s growing demand for air service. Info via SAT facebook page. This is a partial post from airliners.net from about two weeks ago. KSBOS wrote: With the new service to Brazil, I put together a list of the unserved nonstop routes from BOS. These are domestic and international I hope to see nonstop from Boston someday: US: Albuquerque Burbank Des Moines Grand Rapids Memphis Newport News/Williamsburg Oklahoma City Omaha Reno San Antonio (hearing rumors this will start the end of this year or early next on WN) South Bend Tulsa |
Seems as though the 9 million mark isn't too much of a stretch at this point. If its not hit this year, as long as the growth continues, could be next!

Just curious (and not suggesting total passengers suggests when an airport receives a trans ocean flight), at what passenger count did ABIA receive its BA flight to Heathrow?
|
I'm surprised this hasn't generated more press:
https://hyperloop-one.com/global-cha...winners/#texas The associated blog post : "Texas Hyperloop Could Transform Lone Star State Into Global Megaregion" certainly worth a read as well. |
