    Aircraft Detailing at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport

    Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is operated by the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority, 3 miles north of central Sarasota according to FAA data. Three FBOs share the field: Sheltair, whose new Sarasota facility is now listed as open, Atlantic Aviation, and Ascension FBO, which sits mid-field beside runway 14/32.

    Field elevation 30 ft · Longest runway 9,500 ft

    Runway 14/32 is 9,500 by 150 feet and 4/22 is 5,006 feet; the FAA record effective 29 October 2026 has Sarasota tower staffed 0600 to midnight and the airport attended around the clock. The NATA and AvAdvisors 2025 table ranks SRQ 35th nationally with 24,444 business-jet movements, up 3 percent.

    Sheltair, at 814 Clyde Jones Road, and Ascension both list 0600 to 2200 hours, and Sheltair adds an airside canopy sized for corporate aircraft. Customs works by prior arrangement: the airport's customs page puts the general aviation facility on the west air carrier ramp extension and asks for two hours' notice before arrival.

    Detailing appears by name in the Authority's Minimum Standards for Aeronautical Activities dated 31 March 2025. A transient operator, meaning a business that does not lease land or improvements on the airport but works there temporarily or occasionally, with detailing given as an example, is "required to obtain an Agreement or a Permit with the Authority." The same standards let an operator and its subtenants detail their own aircraft on their leased premises.
