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.
