SAT Airport Overview
San Antonio International SAT Airport is located at the intersection of Hwy 281 and Interstate 410--8 miles from downtown San Antonio, Texas, a city that has been at the crossroads of history and diverse cultures for centuries. This unique heritage is reflected in the airport’s Terminal 1. The terminal features tiled images of the city, terrazzo flooring that mimics the flow of the San Antonio River and limestone facades on all storefronts. Terminal 2, built in 1953 with a satellite concourse added in 1968, will be replaced when construction of a new Terminal B is completed (see below). San Antonio SAT airport is a busy facility with many airlines offering nonstop service to multiple destinations (including several in Mexico) and connections worldwide. To accommodate the ever-growing increase in passengers, SAT Airport is undergoing major changes in the upcoming years.
The new Long-Term Garage with 2,800 spaces wraps around the SW corner of the existing long-term garage and also offers the choice of five levels of parking options. The new garage had brought the total parking spaces at SAT up to 9,000.
New Developments at SAT Airport:
Passengers at San Antonio International Airport will be enjoying two new terminal facilities in the future. Terminal B--to be completed in 2010--will be an 8-gate facility being constructed directly between the existing structures ofTerminals One & Two. Once completed, the Terminal B will serve as a replacement facility for Terminal Two, which is marked for demolition. A new Terminal C will be constructed to the West of the Terminal Two site--to be completed 2012). Initially it will house five gates but is designed to accommodate eleven gates should passenger growth warrant.
A two-tier Roadway is to be constructed in front of all three terminal facilities--to be completed 2010). Presently, the existing roadway offers bi-level options only to Terminal One passengers. At this facility, the upper-level is used for passenger drop-off, while the lower-level is used for passenger pick-up. Once the project is completed, the two-tier roadway system will be available no matter what terminal facility they happen to be using.
