Why Choose SAT
A thriving International Airport is vital for supporting and growing our region through strong economic development. When businesses choose SAT, everyone benefits. More passengers means more non-stop flights, more airlines, and more competition—lowering fares and increasing opportunities for everyone.
Simply stated, ASD is vitally important to growing our region by providing the air service needed to attract more visitors, more businesses, and more commerce.
