American Airlines has received tentative approval to begin a daily service between San Antonio International Airport (SAT) and Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) by the US Department of Transportation (DOT).
“American would like to thank the city and community of San Antonio, the San Antonio International Airport, U.S. Senator Cruz and the entire Texas delegation for its strong partnership and support of this effort,” said Nate Gatten, American’s executive vice president.
Gatten added: “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.”
American’s application included more than 150 letters of support from the San Antonio community backing the nonstop service to the US capital.
