In a remarkable achievement, the airport recorded over 10.6 million passengers in 2023, marking the busiest year in its 80-year history. Keeping pace with this momentum, San Antonio International Airport and Stinson Municipal Airport have unveiled a fresh rebranding initiative today, symbolizing the city’s ascension and aspirations for its aviation sector. The rebranding comes at a time when the airport is preparing to add more direct international flights and a new terminal set to open in 2028. Jesus Saenz, the director of airports, expressed his enthusiasm for the new logos. “We wear it on our chest every day, Saenz said. “It’s on our hearts, it’s on our sleeves, of who we are and what we do. We’re a 24/7, 365 operation.” Jenna Saucedo-Herrera, the CEO of Greater:SATX, an organization aimed at bringing businesses and jobs to the San Antonio area, echoed the excitement for what’s to come. “The rebrand is about momentum,” Saucedo-Herrera said. “A new era means a new terminal, 17 new gates and a whole lot more air service capacity. When we have greater air service capacity, we have more jobs and greater jobs in San Antonio.” Mayor Ron Nirenberg also shared his optimism. http://zh.flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/95225/San_Antonio_s_aviation_sector_expected_to_soar_with_rebrand http://zh.flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/95224/Armed_Gangs_Attempt_to_Seize_Control_of_Haiti_s_Largest_Airport_After_Escaping_Prison Wed, 06 Mar 2024 15:27:29 GMT Armed gangs attempted to seize control of Haiti's largest international airport after thousands of people escaped prisons and went out to kill innocent civilians. http://zh.flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/95224/Armed_Gangs_Attempt_to_Seize_Control_of_Haiti_s_Largest_Airport_After_Escaping_Prison http://zh.flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/95223/Haiti_s_Gang_Violence_Sky_Cana_Airbus_A321_Shot_While_Landing_in_Port_au_Prince Wed, 06 Mar 2024 15:27:11 GMT On the morning of February 29, an Airbus A321 was shot at upon arrival at Port-au-Prince Airport (PAP) in Haiti, damaging the fuselage.
