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!

ILUVSAT, please reread my statement... I stated "obviously, not all at once." and yes, there is a report out there stating that the airport can be expanded to somewhere between 58 to 60 gates. In fact, if you look closely at the drawing of the potential expansions, you faintly see planes outlined around the future terminal C and D. Count them. Although not exact, it comes out to somewhere in the mid 50's for total number of gates. I was merely stating that the airport CAN be expanded to that number, and that is not just me taking guesstimates. I would like to note (and not to start an argument) that it seems many times when I post, you come back with some retort that is usually needless. Why? Oddly enough, its usually when I post something that could be or is positive regarding the city of SA. I'm sure you'll post a retort to this. I simply will not respond. Thanks.
