With the tech industry in Austin and events such as SXSW, Formula 1, and the X Games, it's a more desirable destination than SA. Don't get me wrong, I love SA and would love nothing more than to see international service with a wide body plane, such as the beautiful 787 Dreamliner, but it'll be awhile until that happens.

2013 numbers: AUS=10,017,958 passengers; SAT=8,252,330
Thus, AUS had 1,765,628 more passengers travel through its airport than SAT in 2013 (almost 5,000 more per day). Furthermore, AUS had an annual growth rate of 6.23% versus 0.11% for SAT.
