SAN ANTONIO — A national nonprofit that works to boost opportunities for
women and minority groups in aviation industries has recognized San
Antonio International Airport for flying higher than other facilities in
that mission.
The Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC) on Tuesday named the Alamo
City hub Airport of the Year, citing "outstanding contributions to
furthering the goals of AMAC." According to a release from San Antonio
International (SAT), the airport in 2020 launched a new equity
initiative program which has since resulted in dozens of engagement
events in local schools; airport tours for minority and disadvantaged
students; and dozens of new SAT hires or promotions of minority
employees in 2021 alone.
Leaders with San Antonio Airport Systems (SAAS) said in the release they
were "honored" to earn the Airport of the Year recognition.
"Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are an integral part of the
workforce culture throughout the San Antonio Airport Systems," said
Jesus Saenz, director of airports for SAAS.
The release specifically cited SAT's efforts helping disadvantaged small
businesses through the airport's Business Opportunity & Diversity
Development arm.
According to AMAC's 2022 annual report, more than two-thirds of
contracting dollars awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation in
fiscal year 2021 were awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration.
But Black and Hispanic-owned businesses were vastly underrepresented
among the recipients of Department of Transportation money among the
top-awarded industries.
Just under 66% of San Antonio residents identified as Hispanic or
Latino, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, while 6.5% identifies as
Black.
