SAN ANTONIO — SA Mayor Ron Nirenberg made an announcement that the San Antonio International Airport will be adding flights to Europe with a new leisure airline called Condor.
The seasonal nonstop flights to Europe will begin May 17, 2024 to September 6, according to a press release.
The flights will go to the Frankfurt Airport in Germany which can connect to dozens of destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India, the release says.
