Allegiant plane at SRQ features unique wrap

A custom design sets apart one Allegiant plane based at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport’s new terminal. The names of the airport’s two major cities are emblazoned on a wrap around the Airbus A320’s fuselage in a move that tourism and aviation officials say represents a collaborative effort to boost the area's regional profile.

One side of the plane says “Visit Sarasota beaches and beyond” with a sea turtle, while the other side features a manatee and says “Bradenton,” with the names “Anna Maria Island” and “Longboat Key” in smaller text below. 

Starfish and seashells decorate the engine covers of the plane, representing another tribute to the area’s beaches.
