Most of Texas’ major airports scored funding — eight of them getting grants totaling $103.4 million. San Antonio got a 'gut punch.'
Jerry Lara / San Antonio Express-News
The city requested $50 million from the Federal Aviation Administration’s five-year, $5 billion Airport Terminal Program, paid for under the bill. The biggest project on San Antonio’s funding wish list was a ground loading facility for Terminal A, expected to cost more than $30 million; it will allow some passengers to board their planes from the tarmac.But San Antonio International got the brush-off.
In the FAA program’s first round, the agency was looking to fund airport terminal projects that were ready for construction. But there are currently few “shovel-ready” projects to fund at San Antonio’s airport. “It’s not a big deal because San Antonio only recently put that plan together. There are major policy decisions buried within the city’s master plan — you don’t just throw this together,” Cisneros said. “We were not at the same place as maybe other cities were.”
