SRQ Passenger Numbers Continue to Grow In April 2023

Last month 451,036 passengers traveled through the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, compared to 386,013 passengers in April 2022.  This is a 17% increase and is the highest number of passengers for the month of April.  The 12-month activity through April 2023 totals 4,113,442 passengers, a 9% increase compared to 3,776,825 passengers for the 12 months through April 2022. For the first four months of the calendar year 2023 there was an 18% increase in passenger traffic over the same period in 2022.

“We continue to see strong growth in the number of flights, destinations, and passengers using SRQ.  With our peak travel months behind us, we are now focused on completing several multimillion-dollar construction projects to better accommodate increased demand.  These projects include a new cell phone waiting lot, additional paved parking areas, new ground transportation pick-up area, new baggage screening system, and a new 5 gate terminal expansion. 

These various projects are expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and will substantially increase capacity at the airport, allowing airlines to add more flights while providing passengers the service and amenities they are accustomed to when traveling through SRQ,” stated Rick Piccolo, President, CEO of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport.
