INTRODUCTION

The Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority (SMAA), owner and operator of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), participates in social media to promote SRQ and to support surrounding community partners. We welcome you to submit your questions, comments, and concerns via the third party social media sites SRQ has activated (each, an “SRQ Site”). These SRQ Sites are created as limited public forums for the purposes of discussing topics of relevance to SRQ and are not general public forums. By becoming a fan, friend, or follower of an SRQ Site, “liking” SRQ, or posting on an SRQ Site, you agree to the terms of this Social Media Policy.
 

USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA SITES

SRQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SarasotaBradentonInternationalAirport
The purpose of our Facebook is to present matters of public interest to our friends and followers who either use SRQ for business and/or leisure, have a specific interest in aviation-related matters, or are employed at our airport. SRQ primarily uses its Facebook page to promote the airport’s available services and amenities, to share existing and/or new air service developments, to provide important tenant information, to share aviation-related pictures taken at SRQ, and to support community partners with whom the SMAA has entered into a partnership or sponsorship agreement.

SRQ Twitter: https://twitter.com/srqairport
SRQ maintains a Twitter account (@SRQAirport) which is only used in the event of major incidents at SRQ, including but not limited to an aircraft/airport disaster or a hurricane. The SMAA does not routinely tweet or respond to received Tweets from followers at this time.
