. That includes waiving $374,000 in landing and terminal fees and plus giving out a $900,000 marketing grant to help the airline promote the Alamo City in Europe.
While securing San Antonio's first cross-Atlantic direct flight is an achievement, the next big hurdle is filling seats and ensuring the airline can financially justify keeping the route going. San Antonio and other cities have historically offered incentives to airlines to attract new flights, including minimum revenue guarantees, according to experts. A minimum revenue guarantee ensures that a new route won't be a money loser. Should an airline not sell enough tickets, the minimum revenue guarantee kicks in and the city helps with subsidies.
The flights between San Antonio and Frankfurt will take more than 10 hours and run on Airbus A330-900neo aircraft, Condor officials said. The Airbus A330-900neo has 310 seats.
