SRQ adds flight to Kentucky

Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport has added a city to its list of destinations. Travelers at SRQ can now fly to Lexington, Kentucky, twice a week through Allegiant Air. The flights to Blue Grass Airport run two days a week, on Thursday and Sunday, and last about two hours.

Service between SRQ and LEX began April 3. Since February, Allegiant has added eight flights out of SRQ, including destinations in New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Nebraska, Kentucky and Virginia. The expansion in service followed the January opening of Concourse A, the new SRQ terminal with five gates all leased by Allegiant.

In all, Allegiant now offers 35 destinations out of Sarasota, according to SRQ President and CEO Rick Piccolo.
