American the first to fly nonstop between DC and San Antonio

Wednesday, 24 Dec, 2024 0

American Airlines will soon launch new San Antonio flights after getting the final approval to operate flights connecting Washington, D.C. (DCA).

This week, the DOT formally approved American’s application to become the only carrier operating nonstop service between San Antonio and DCA.

Tickets for the new service are now on sale through aa.com or American’s mobile app, for flights starting in March 2025.

“American is proud to offer the only nonstop flights between SAT and DCA,” said Brian Znotins, American’s SVP of Network and Schedule Planning.

“This new service will offer convenient nonstop access to our nation’s capital for San Antonians, while helping further connect customers to our comprehensive global network.”

The city of San Antonio is the fastest-growing city in the United States and is home to one of the largest concentrations of military bases in the country.

Currently, it is the largest city in Texas lacking nonstop service to DCA.

“We are proud to have finally secured a nonstop flight between SAT and DCA with American Airlines as our partner. This long-awaited connection to our nation’s capital is a game changer for our community,” said San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg.

The airline says American’s service will offer convenient time-savings versus existing connecting flights to DCA or alternate airports in the Washington, D.C., area.
