   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.
