Most of the businesses that were based at Tampa Bay Executive have been relocated to other airports in the region.

Hoover's aircraft Refinishing (permanently closed) Jensen Aviation (flight school) and JJ Aeronautics (maintenance) both moved to Zephyrhills Municipal Airport, while Bayflite operations were repositioned to Community Hospital in New Port Richey.

Most of the 100+ based customers were able to successfully find hangar/tie-down space at several nearby airports, but some were forced to sell their aircraft.

It is rumored that the airport's ownership group was given a purchase offer for the property that far exceeded its actual value, which complemented the fact that the owners were quoted as saying that they were "...tired of being involved in a business that attracts so many lawsuits."

The county worked to keep Bayflite on-site due to its centralized location and shorter response times, but the medevac service was unable to continue operating there when demolition of the vacant airport began.
