SARASOTA–BRADENTON AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History Of Sarasota–Bradenton Airport

Before the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport was built, both Sarasota and Bradenton had their own airfields: Bradenton's Bradenton Airport and Sarasota's Lowe Field. Bradenton Airport was established somewhere between 1935 and 1937 being abandoned at an unknown point during World War 2. Lowe Field would be dedicated on January 12, 1929 and would end up opening on March 12. It would be Sarasota's first municipal airport located on 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land west of what was then Oriente Avenue which is now known as Beneva Road and north of Fruitville Road.

National Airlines would begin flying out of the airfield on August 4, 1937. Flights were often canceled because the landing strip got too wet to land on which led to National Airlines leaving later that year after Sarasota could not pay for building concrete runways. During World War II, Lowe Field was used by the Civil Air Patrol. After the war, most civilian operations at Lowe Field went to the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport with the exception of student pilots, mosquito control programs, and crop dusters. The airport continued operating until 1961 when the owner sold the land.
