International Airport Adds More Domestic and International Flights
Published on April 04, 2023
San Antonio (April 4, 2023) – With summer travel on the horizon, travelers have even more options to choose from out of San Antonio International Airport (SAT). This summer is expected to be the busiest in SAT’s history. Overall, the airport is expecting up to 10% more seats flying in and out of the airport than in the summer of 2019.
Many airlines will increase nonstop service from SAT in the coming months. The enhanced flight options include destinations as far away as the West Coast, the East Coast, the Midwest and Mexico:
- Delta Air Lines will relaunch daily nonstop service to New York (JFK) starting May 8 as well as add a third daily flight to both Detroit (DTW) starting May 8 and Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) starting June 20.
- Sun Country Airlines will resume seasonal service to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) and Cancun (CUN) before Memorial Day. The Cancun flight will be operated Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays through mid-August.
- Southwest Airlines will increase nonstop service to Cancun to daily starting June 3, add a third daily flight for weekdays to Baltimore/Washington (BWI) and increase service to Kansas City (MCI) to daily starting July 11.
- Spirit Airlines will add daily flights to Los Angeles (LAX) starting May 5.
“We’re so happy to see these new routes added just in time for summer—like Spirit Airlines starting nonstop service to California next month and to see Delta, Sun Country and Southwest all add more flights,” said Jesus H. Saenz, Director of Airports, San Antonio Airport System. “This increase in air service means more competitive fares giving more families the ability to travel and enjoy memorable experiences together.”
Additionally, Southwest already announced it is increasing its service to San Diego (SAN) to twice daily starting on Oct. 5.
