## Description

From 1.3 million passengers in 2019 to a record 4.5 million in 2025 – few US airports have grown as fast as Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (IATA: SRQ, ICAO: KSRQ), up 6.3 percent year on year. Allegiant, Breeze and Southwest drove the surge, turning a sleepy regional field into a busy leisure gateway for Florida's Gulf coast. Air freight is not part of the story: shippers route via Tampa, about 50 kilometres north on I-75, while international volumes clear through Miami. The airport fronts the Tamiami Trail (US 41) midway between downtown Sarasota and Bradenton. Gate expansions are underway because the existing terminal was never sized for this boom. The neighbour next door supplies the trivia: circus king John Ringling's museum and mansion border the airport grounds.
