With Fort Hood only 80ish miles to the north via SH 195 then to the I-130 Toll Way and all of the San Antonio military bases 80ish miles to the south via I-10 then to the I-130 Toll Way [or I-35 to the I-45 Toll Way to the I-130 Toll Way] a daily flight to Seoul would make the soldiers coming to and from Korea happy since they don't have to go thru Dallas/Fort Worth or Houston or Atlanta. Then change planes for airports in San Antonio or Killeen. An added benefit would be the I-130 Toll Way would keep them from having to drive in Austin traffic and correct me if I am wrong military vehicles do not pay tolls. A couple Greyhound type busses a day to and from the Austin airport serving the military bases would make the trip very enjoyable.
Add to this the huge Asian population in the Austin/San Antonio/Killeen areas a daily non-stop to Seoul is a no-brainer. This is just passengers I wonder what cargo would add to it.
