Sarasota Airport Getting Back To Normal After Hurricane Milton

Nearly $10 Million In Cleanup And Repairs Almost Completed

Hurricane Milton inflicted almost $10 million in damages and cleanup costs at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (KSRQ), but officials said that repairs were being done and that the airport reopened to commercial service on October16.

The airport’s Facebook page showed photos of debris on the ramp area and the damage caused to Concourse B, which is where the security checkpoint and all 13 gates are located. Airport CEO Rick Piccolo said hurricane winds of more than 100 mph ripped the entire roof off the concourse and caused subsequent water damage inside the building.

Airport personnel have been working diligently to clean up and repair the damage, with photos of that progress also posted on Facebook updates.

“Clean-up & repairs are well underway at SRQ,” the airport posted.

Shortly after the Category 3 hurricane passed through, the airport posted photos of the inside of the terminal showing missing ceiling tiles, water damage, and debris on the floor. Additional photos showed smaller hangars that had collapsed and several small aircraft sustained some damage as well.

Around the airport, trees and signs were blown down, but commercial flights did resume as planned, according to the airport’s website and social media posts.
