The airport facilities are currently undergoing a major, $340 million expansion project which will add new terminals and parking facilities. The ultimate master plan for the project will increase gate capacity to 34. | |||
San Antonio International Airport currently has two terminals with 24 jet-bridge gates (as well as 3 seldom-used ground-loading gates). The original one-level terminal (now Terminal 2) opened in 1953 with ground-loading holding areas and was expanded twice, once in 1959 with new east and west wings and again in 1968 with an 8-gate satellite concourse. A second terminal (now Terminal 1) opened in 1984 with a 16-gate concourse. | |||
The two-level parking garage immediately across from Terminal 1 opened in 1982. The FAA control tower became operational in 1986. And the five-level parking garage opened in 1999. | |||
As part of an airport expansion project that is now underway, the recently renovated Terminal 2 will be razed after a new two-level 7-gate concourse is completed in 2008. Another multi-level parking garage will also be constructed across from the current Terminal 2. Also, Terminals 1 and 2 will then be renamed Terminals A and B. | |||
Another terminal, Terminal C, will then be constructed beginning in 2009. It will initially include 5 gates and will subsequently be expanded to 11 gates. Terminal C should be completed in 2010, bringing San Antonio's total number of jet-bridge gates to 28. This number will eventually increase to 34 gates once Terminal C is expanded. | |||
As of February 2006, four jet-bridge gates were not assigned to any airlines. Gate 1 in Terminal 1 is a city-operated gate, and Gates 8-9 in the same terminal as well as Gate 33 in Terminal 2 are vacant. Also, a ground-loading holding area in Terminal 2 has 3 city-operated common-use gates, Gates 39-41. | |||
