San Antonio (January 27, 2022) - San Antonio International Airport (SAT) is excited to announce the unveiling of its adult changing station. SAT is one of approximately twelve airports in the United States to install a station in its terminal. The station makes it easier for people with intellectual or physical disabilities to access the restroom.
SAT renovated the family restroom in the Terminal B to install the adult changing station. It is equipped with a height-adjustable changing table with grips. The table is shaped like a bed and holds up to 440 pounds and can be lowered to the floor. The station also features a toilet, sink and mirror.
"We support diversity and inclusion and are always looking for ways to improve the experience for our millions of visitors and the adult changing station provides the much-needed accessibility for our passengers." said Jesus H. Saenz, Jr., IAP, Director of Airports, San Antonio Airport System. "It is our goal to make the airport safe, easy to navigate, welcoming and fully-accessible to everyone".
The adult changing station located in Terminal B near gate 3.
Other amenities designed to increase and enhance the inclusivity of San Antonio's airport facilities include modification of the information booths to include wheelchair level counters, installation of wheelchair ramps at arrival and departure level curbs, Sunflower lanyard program, designed to identify and provide support to passengers with disabilities and AIRA, a vision assistance program for blind and low-vision passengers.
