“SAT recovered quicker than many airports from the COVID-19 pandemic … Now we’ll set our sights on exceeding another goal,” said Jesus Saenz, Director of Aviation for the City of San Antonio, in the release.
Dec. 20, 2024 was the busiest day in the airport’s history. Every month last year except November broke previous SAT records, according to the release.
July 2024 was the busiest month, with 1,032,610 passengers. October 2024 also is the first October to surpass one million passengers.
“We are thrilled to hit these milestones at SAT and couldn’t have done it without our airline partners,” said Jacob Tyler, Air Service Administrator for the city’s Aviation Department. “We continue to work hard in collaboration with airlines to grow nonstop service from SAT. Continuing to choose to fly from SAT shows the airlines that San Antonio is a place they should be investing their aircraft.”
