What to Expect at the Airport

At SRQ, you will find smaller crowds providing you with a built-in advantage from a social distancing perspective. No need to take a shuttle or train to catch your plane and less crowding means a safer and more convenient environment for our users.

SRQ has taken steps to fight the spread of COVID-19

Cleaning Procedures

We have doubled our janitorial staff and pay special attention to cleaning heavily touched areas such as handrails, door handles, and elevator buttons, using hospital grade disinfectants.

Plastic Shields

Shields have been installed at every counter position in the airport, including rental car counters, visitor’s desks, and gate podiums.

Signage

We have installed signage reminding passengers of safe practices at the entrance doors.

Announcements

You will hear reminders of safe practices on the public address system.

Face Coverings

1. Federal law requires wearing a mask at all times in and on airport and failure to comply may result in removal and denial of re-entry.
2. Refusing to wear a mask in or on the airport is a violation of federal law; individuals may be subject to penalties under federal law.  Please see the CDC order for all exemptions.

Air Conditioning System

SRQ uses hospital grade filters plus UV disinfection lights internally in the airport’s air conditioning system.

#FlyWithConfidence

Keep possession of your boarding pass
Travelers now place their boarding pass on the boarding pass reader themselves, then should hold the pass in view of the TSA officer for visual inspection, thus reducing potential for cross-contamination.
Separate food for X-ray screening
Travelers should place their carry-on food items into a clear plastic bag and place that bag into a bin. TSA Precheck members do not need to remove items from their bags.
Pack smart
Travelers should take extra care to ensure that they do not have any prohibited items in their carryon’s reducing the need to touch bags. TSA is allowing one liquid hand sanitizer container, up to 12 ounces per passenger, in carry-on bags.
Practice Social Distancing
Travelers should allow for social distancing to reduce direct contact between employees and passengers.
Wear Facial Protection
TSA officers at checkpoints are now using facial protection. They also increased the use of gloves and the frequency of replacement.
