SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio International Airport handled more than 2.3 million passengers in first quarter 2023, nearly 19 percent more than a year ago and within 2.8 percent of the same period in 2019.
“The first quarter was very strong with all indications that demand will continue to soar,” Brian Pratte, chief air services development officer for San Antonio International Airport, told the San Antonio Business Journal.
Growth could continue with the addition of flights.
Spirit, Delta, Sun Country, and Southwest Airlines are adding or resuming domestic flights to and from San Antonio over the remainder of 2023. Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, and United airlines added capacity on several U.S. flights to and from San Antonio International in March.
At the same time, the planned airport expansion will add up to 17 additional gates.
