The Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport has done it again.

It seems every month there’s a new record being broken in terms of how many passengers pass through SRQ. With Sarasota being a top spring break destination, it’s no surprise that the airport set the new record in March with 442,846 for the most passengers served in a month.

So far this year, SRQ has had 1.09 million passengers travel through which is an uptick of 92% compared to this time last year’s number of 564,066 passengers.
