St. Pete-Clearwater airport to embark on $106M terminal expansion

As the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport ramps up its non-stop flights and continues to break passenger records, it will soon embark on a $106 million expansion to meet the growing demands.

"It's really the traffic that is driving this expansion," PIE Director Tom Jewsbury said. "We have low-cost carriers that provide point-to-point service and award-winning beaches that everyone wants to visit. Our ability to grow is because of these types of carriers, and the fact Florida has recovered faster than most states during the pandemic."

“I couldn’t draw you a freehand picture,” Seixas laughed. “But I’m really good at painting with a twist.”
