SRQ closed to commercial flights until Oct. 16

Having lost then entire roof covering above Concourse B, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport will remain closed to commercial passenger flights until Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 9 a.m. The roof covers the screening checkpoint and all 13 gates hold rooms. 

The airport is working with recovery contractors to replace the 76,000-square-foot surface with a temporary roof until permanent repairs can be made. Additionally, the gate areas are undergoing clean-up and remediation work because of the water intrusion after the roof was damaged.
