The 12-month activity through August 2023 totals 4,209,480 passengers, a 12% increase compared to 3,744,982 passengers for the 12 months through August 2022.

“As the summer travel season draws to a close, the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is thrilled to have reported an overall increase in total passengers for each summer month.
