Terminals, airlines, and destinations

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 U.S. Customs Federal Inspection Station (FIS) is located in Terminal 1. Gates 1-2 and 10-11 have direct access to the FIS.

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 program that is now underway, the recently renovated Terminal 2 will be razed after a new two-level 8-gate concourse is completed in late 2008. Terminal 1 will then be renamed Terminal A, and the new concourse will be named Terminal 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 late 2010, bringing San Antonio's total number of jet-bridge gates to 28. This number will eventually increase to 35 gates once Terminal C is expanded. The bi-level roadway in front of Terminal 1 is also being expanded to provide service to the new Terminal B and future Terminal C. A five-level 1.1-million-square-foot 3,000-space parking garage will also be constructed adjacent to the existing parking garages. Various utility projects and upgrades are also being performed as part of this program. To see a map of the construction click here.

As of April 2007, a ground-loading holding area in Terminal 2 has 3 city-operated common-use gates, Gates 39-41.
