No. Actually, the airport will not secure enough funds to expand where expansion is not necessary.
Also, why in the heck would you expand to 60 gates when 60 gates will not be needed at SAT for decades (NOTE: "60 gates" was chosen arbitrarily).
Additionally, rents will skyrocket to a point where airlines find it cost prohibitive to continue some routes (and maybe pull out all together). I assure you, if SAT tries to expand beyond what is necessary, the airlines will fight it and more then likely win!
