Overview
The San Antonio Market
San Antonio is anchored by Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), one of the largest joint military bases in the US, which combines Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, Fort Sam Houston and other installations. JBSA is a major source of jobs and economic activity for the metro.
Beyond the base, Port San Antonio hosts defense aerospace operators, including Boeing San Antonio, which performs maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) on the KC-46 Pegasus refueling tanker, along with other aerospace MRO, defense engineering and defense contracting firms.
San Antonio also hosts the Sixteenth Air Force, which runs Air Force cyber operations.
