2 big things at play...
Government... State leadership and the Mexican consulate are in Austin... this is a political play as Mexico wants to grow relationships with the state of TX... you can hit all of the reps in Austin.
2nd... GE is funding the terminal... and their logistics group is based in the Austin area...
...additionally Austin's airport has plenty of space
The massive latino population in SA will probably travel an hour for these fares...
If you haven't been to europe... this is a really cool concept. Not sure if it will be succesful but I hope it expands domestically... but it goes against the big boys "hub" models... so I doubt our government will make it easy... It is great for business though... can really commute on a daily basis as done in Europe.
