Decoding SRQ: Sarasota's Most Famous Acronym (Besides SPF )
Ever stumbled upon "SRQ" while browsing Sarasota or spotted it on a keychain at a beach store? No, it's not a secret society handshake (although that could be a fun idea for a future trip). SRQ is actually the code for Sarasota Bradenton International Airport! ✈️
But why SRQ? Why not just plain old S arada... wait, that sounds like a sneeze. Clearly, they needed something catchy.

From Danger Zone to Delightful Destination: The History of SRQ
Believe it or not, SRQ almost became the international symbol for "mayday" (distress call) due to a confusing earlier code, SSO. Thankfully, some clever folks at the International Air Transport Association (IATA) stepped in and created SRQ in the 1950s. So, next time you hear an airplane overhead, you can thank SRQ for not sending everyone running for the life rafts!
