Southwest Airlines, which just started air service at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport last week, will offer seasonal service to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from mid-April to early May, the airport announced on Thursday.
Service between Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport in Wisconsin is scheduled to run Saturdays from April 17 through May 8.
Southwest will also run a second daily flight to Chicago Midway International Airport in March and up to two times a day in April.
A Sarasota-Bradenton-to-Milwaukee route performed well via AirTran Airways before that airline was purchased by Southwest and went dark at the local airport, said Elliott Falcione, executive director of the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
