San Antonio International recently celebrated the opening of its new general aviation Federal Inspection Station.
The facility provides separation of commercial and general aviation aircraft and improves the customer experience for passengers clearing customs, according to an announcement from the airport.
To expedite construction of the 5,000-square-foot building, the city negotiated a public/private partnership with INNOVA Aerospace, which invested more than $2 million. As part of the 25-year lease agreement, the city’s aviation department constructed the apron and provided taxiway improvements.
