Additionally, airlines continue to add and resume seasonal flights at SRQ.

In January, the airport welcomes a new airline, Avelo, with nonstop service to New Haven, Connecticut; and in March, Allegiant will begin new nonstop service to Akron-Canton, Ohio, and Appleton, Wisconsin. These new and returning services are expected to propel the airport past the 3 million passenger mark for the year, with projections for an equally busy 2022.
