SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio International Airport (SAT) officially opened its Terminal A expansion on Friday.
According to the airport, the expansion supports both domestic and international operations, adding new ground-load gates, passenger areas and a Federal Inspection Station for international arrivals.
“The Terminal A Expansion is a key component of ELEVATE/SAT, a broader infrastructure development initiative to expand travel opportunities, accommodate increasing passenger demand and strengthen San Antonio’s regional economy,” an email from the airport states. “A central feature of the Terminal A project is the Ground Load Facility, which will allow SAT to expand its operational capacity.”
The Terminal A expansion includes a multi-sensory environment with quiet rooms and other features that make travel more comfortable for passengers.
