Jet Blue should fly into San Antonio they are making Austin a connecting hub for flights from the east coast the the west coast.

There is hardly any room to even build a terminal at Kelly (not really). There is not much more, if any room for beneficial growth at Kelly vs SAT. Kelly has one runway and there is not enough room to build another. Try to find a major airport with one runway. Kelly is completely surrounded just like SAT is.

The City is doing the proper thing trying to divert as much cargo as possible to Kelly (which has a longer runway) and expand SAT for past and future growth.





Another thing is location. So much has allready developed around SAT and most busnesses are on the Northside. To move the airport to the southside would be rediculous.
