## Description

For air freight planning, Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport (SRQ/KSRQ) is best treated as a passenger airport with courier-level cargo rather than a freight gateway. The airport served 4,514,781 passengers in 2025, up 6.34% on the previous year, with March 2025 setting an all-time monthly record of 597,796. No regular freighter operation or dedicated cargo terminal is documented at SRQ; air freight moves largely as belly cargo on domestic services. Forwarders and agents active locally include JG International Freight and Alliance Cargo Express, alongside TSA-certified couriers collecting from freight warehouses and airline facilities. For customs-cleared import and export consignments, Tampa International (TPA) around 100 road kilometres north is usually the practical choice, with far broader carrier and handling coverage. St. Pete–Clearwater (PIE) and Punta Gorda (PGD) serve as further regional alternatives. Port Manatee lies roughly 26 kilometres away, which makes an ocean-plus-trucking routing a realistic substitute where transit time allows. Interstate 75 links the Sarasota–Bradenton area to Tampa in the north and Fort Myers/Naples in the south, keeping road feeder services to larger cargo stations straightforward.
