Sarasota-Bradenton airport sets all-time monthly passenger record

With airline flights arriving and departing now from two terminals at Sarasota-Bradenton International, the airport broke its all-time  monthly passenger traffic record in March, according to a release. 

Nearly 600,000 passengers (597,796 to be exact) traveled through the airport, under the call letters SRQ, in March. That was an 7.5% increase over March 2024, according to airport activity records. Since January, traffic is up 1.1% over 2024.

SRQ opened five ground-level gates in the new Concourse A in January, a wing of the airport fully leased by Allegiant Air. It was the first expansion of the airport in 35 years.  More gates in Concourse A are forthcoming, including a five-gate expansion at the south end of the new building and three at the north end.
