For Immediate Release
The Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority, operator of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) has updated existing regulations regarding animals using the terminal facility. The new regulations do not affect trained service animals, which are always welcome at any time. Other non-service animals including pets, emotional support, and comfort animals must adhere to the policy. The updated rules can be summarized as follows:
“With the substantial growth we have seen recently, it has become necessary to update our new rules and regulations to ensure the safety and health of all passengers and animals that use our facility. Over the past few years, we have seen a significant increase in pets, emotional support animals, and comfort animals using our facility. This has resulted in frequent sanitation issues and some threatening behavior problems. To maintain a clean and safe environment for our customers, we will begin educating the public on our updated regulations and increasing enforcement,” said Rick Piccolo, President, CEO of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport.
