The U.S. mega carrier, American Airlines has received tentative approval to begin a round-trip daily flight between San Antonio International Airport (SAT) and Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
American’s Executive Vice President Nate Gatten. “We look forward to DOT issuing a final order so we can begin connecting more members of Military City USA with our nation’s capital and our industry-leading global network.”
“Today marks a significant milestone for San Antonio as we get one step closer to securing a nonstop flight between SAT and DCA,” said San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg.
Director of Airports for San Antonio Jesus Saenz. “This is historic and meaningful to San Antonio and our surrounding communities, a true reflection of our partnership with American Airlines along with the countless number of community leaders that have long deserved nonstop service from San Antonio International Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Together with American Airlines, we look forward to sharing more details about the launch of this flight soon.”
It is understood that American has spent more than three million in hospitality and lobbying costs to get Senators Cornyn and Cruz to support the route. Cruz also took in $44,488 from rival airline Delta between 2020 and 2024.
American’s application included more than 150 letters of support from the San Antonio community backing the nonstop service, including bipartisan members of the Texas Congressional delegation, mayors, military organizations, advocacy groups and chambers of commerce.
