$40M private aviation facility opening at SRQ this fall

A new $40 million private aviation facility is opening at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport this fall. Sheltair Sarasota will be centered around a 10,705-square-foot terminal with an airside canopy entrance when it opens Nov. 1.

Planes the facility can accommodate range from light jets to large-cabin aircraft. The terminal will offer private lounge spaces, conference rooms, crew rest areas, waiting rooms and customer service representatives, according to a statement. 

“Sheltair Sarasota is designed to feel like more than an FBO — it’s a home away from home,” Sheltair President Lisa Holland says in the statement.
