"San Antonio is set to receive its first nonstop flight to DCA through American Airlines. This connection is expected to benefit the community by enhancing connectivity with the nation's capital."
"A planned outlet at the city's airport was blocked by the city council amid the controversy over the chain's donations; one councillor later used a procedural ploy to force another vote on the proposal, but it remains unclear whether the ban will be reversed. Advocates argued the decision amounted to government hostility toward a private Christian business and a violation of religious freedom." - Tim Forster
"A proposed Chick-fil-A location at the airport was similarly scrapped the previous week after officials cited concerns about the chain’s donations to organizations with anti-LGBTQ positions, leading management to drop plans for the concession." - Greg Morabito
"The airport’s Terminal A concessions lineup was altered after the local city council approved an amendment removing the chain from the planned vendors, citing concerns about the company’s history of supporting anti-LGBTQ organizations and a desire to keep public facilities welcoming to all. Council members framed the decision as a matter of inclusivity, while a company representative told a national news outlet that the council’s press release was the first notification they had of the motion and its approval." - Greg Morabito
