Expanding plans for new Ground Transportation Center could mean 20% more parking spaces at the airport, which currently has about 10,000 spots
San Antonio International Airport is gearing up to build a parking garage and transportation facility four times larger than originally planned as officials race to accommodate a growing number of passengers. The Ground Transportation Center was originally slated to include 500 parking spots on top of drive-thru space for VIA Metropolitan Transit buses, hotel shuttles, taxis and ride-hailing services.
Renderings show San Antonio airport’s new terminal to open in 2028 Breaking records July was the airport’s busiest in history — 1,032,610 passengers flew in and out of San Antonio, topping the previous record set in July 2023 by 3%. The airport expects to close this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, with 11.24 million passengers, or 330,000 more people than the airport anticipated it would see this year. Officials estimate that 11.63 million passengers will pass through the facility next year.
San Antonians will soon board planes directly from the tarmac. Here’s what it will look like. San Antonio leaders have tried but failed to win nonstop service to Washington, D.C., for decades, stymied by rules restricting the number of direct flights to Reagan National. But a bill re-authorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, which Congress passed in May, gives San Antonio’s airport a shot.
