Private Jet Airports in San Antonio
Choosing an airfield here
What drives the choice in this area: where the traffic goes, where you can clear, and what you can land.
Overview
16 airfields serve San Antonio. San Antonio International (KSAT) handles the most business aviation traffic, with 79% of the area's business jet movements , followed by Boerne Stage Airfield and Kerrville Municipal / Louis Schreiner Field . The area spans Bexar County and its neighbors in south-central Texas, reaching west toward Hondo and Kerrville and east toward Seguin, all within a single state and time zone. Field spacing is tight near the city, with several airports inside 20 NM of each other, then opens up toward the Hill Country edge where Kerrville sits well apart from the rest. Both customs points, San Antonio International and Kelly Field, sit within a few miles of downtown. Traffic runs fairly steady year-round, with a spring peak in April and the lowest volume in August.

Frequently asked questions
How many airports in the San Antonio area have on-site customs processing?
Two airports in the San Antonio area have CBP inspection services on site: San Antonio International (KSAT) and Kelly Field (KSKF), both also carrying a USDA compliance agreement. They sit close together, 11 NM apart, both towered and both stocking Jet A. For an inbound international flight, that proximity means routing between the two does not change ground transport plans much, though ramp availability and any USDA-related cargo handling still differ by field and are worth confirming before filing.
Which San Antonio-area runway can take the largest jets, and where is it?
The longest paved runway in the San Antonio area is 11,550 ft at Kelly Field (KSKF), a former Air Force base that retains military-grade pavement and a tower. It sits 11 NM from San Antonio International (KSAT), whose longest surface is 8,505 ft. Kelly Field also has on-site CBP inspection services, so an operator flying a large-cabin or long-range aircraft that needs both runway length and customs clearance has that combination available without splitting the trip across two fields.
How does business jet traffic at San Antonio-area airports change through the year?
Business jet movements across the San Antonio area peaked in April 2025 at 5,341 operations and bottomed out in August at 3,742, based on the reported annual figure of 50,847 movements. Four months of the year ran above the 4,237 average, with April standing well clear of the rest. The spring peak coincides with no stated capacity constraint at any field, but dispatchers working April lift into San Antonio International (KSAT) or elsewhere in the area should expect ramp and handling demand to be higher than the August low.
Is there a secondary jet-capable airfield near San Antonio International worth knowing about?
Boerne Stage Airfield (5C1) sits 16 NM from San Antonio International (KSAT) in the San Antonio area, untowered, with a 5,006 ft paved runway and Jet A on the field. It logged 4,139 business jet movements in 2025, the second-highest count among the area's airfields after KSAT itself. It carries no customs listing, so any international leg still needs to route through KSAT or Kelly Field (KSKF). For domestic positioning or overflow parking, though, it is a fueled, paved option close to the primary field.
What does elevation look like across the San Antonio area, and where is it highest?
Elevation across the San Antonio area ranges from 430 ft at Pleasanton Municipal (KPEZ) up to 1,617 ft at Kerrville Municipal/Louis Schreiner Field (KERV), the highest public-use field in the area. San Antonio International (KSAT) itself sits at 809 ft. Kerrville is also the most distant of the primary fields from the area center, at nearly 44 NM. Operators planning performance numbers for hot-weather departures should note the spread: density altitude at Kerrville will run noticeably higher than at the lower-lying fields closer to the city.
