Purpose and Need for the Project

The need for the proposed improvements stems from a combination of safety, design, and capacity deficiencies in the Airport's existing airfield, including FAA-designated hot spots associated with a history of runway incursions, pavement and geometry that no longer meet current FAA design standards, and airfield capacity constraints relative to future demand. The Proposed Project also addresses the need to improve local airspace efficiency by better separating civil and military operations at SAT and the nearby JBSA-Randolph and JBSA-Lackland installations.
