The Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport will finish this year at approximately 4.3 million passengers – a 300% increase over pre-COVID days. That will address many of the terminal issues that the growth has necessitated. The airport has approximately 2,100 paved parking spaces; however, during peak periods nearly 4,400 vehicles are parked at the airport at any one time. A new 124-space cellphone lot with restrooms and vending machines opened in October, taking pressure off the short-term parking lot in front of the terminal. A $10 million expansion project is underway to increase employee parking and aircraft parking on the west side of the airport.
