San Antonio International Airport will begin offering nonstop flights to Europe for the first time, in what local officials are touting as a means to boost the local hospitality industry while expanding cross-Atlantic business ties.
German leisure carrier Condor will begin flying directly between San Antonio and the German business center of Frankfurt next summer. The seasonal service will run May 17 through September 6, according to airline officials.
"San Antonio, it is finally happening [in] May of 2024,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said during a Thursday media event unveiling the deal. "Get ready to fly to Europe."
Although the city issued news releases trumpeting the announcement as "history making," the connection will start small, only running seasonally and three days a week. What's more, the route is only confirmed for two years, Condor Airlines U.S. Sales Director Mikko Turtiainen told the Current.
