Is SRQ airport open during Hurricane Helene? What to know about flight cancellations

Hurricane Helene has disrupted almost all flights at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.

As of 1 p.m. Thursday, 16 arrivals and 16 departures were canceled at the airport.

But airport officials said they do not plan to close the airport ahead of the storm. Two Delta flights are expected to land at the airport Thursday evening.

“While the storm has caused the majority of today’s flights to cancel, we are thankful that we were able to remain open to allow a small number of flights to operate and get passengers through the airport safely,” Rick Piccolo, the airport’s president and CEO, said in a statement.

Airport officials urged travelers to check with their airlines on the latest status of their flights. For more information, visit www.FlySRQ.com .
