A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Southwest Airlines against San Antonio. The year-long feud erupted over planned gate assignments at a planned new terminal at San Antonio International Airport.
Southwest alleged that airport officials planned to keep them out of that new terminal that is under construction.
The airline also claimed Jesus Saenz, the airport director, promised that the airline would be able to operate out of the new terminal.
The judgment is a win for the city; however, in the meantime, Southwest is paying millions in extra fees without having signed a new lease contract.
It’s still unknown how the court's dismissal of the case will affect the city’s relationship with Southwest moving forward.
The new terminal C is part of a multi-billion-dollar airport expansion at the airport. Terminal C is expected to open in 2028.
