PGD History
Punta Gorda Airport began as a World War II combat training base for Army pilots and served primarily as a general aviation airport in the decades that followed. After Hurricane Charley wrought destruction in 2004, the Charlotte County Airport Authority, the independent special district that owns and operates PGD, rebuilt with a focus on attracting low-cost commercial air service. After experiencing double-digit passenger growth, the Bailey Terminal was expanded in 2015 to its current 68,500 sq. ft. footprint.
PGD’s Master Plan Update, approved by the FAA in 2018, thoughtfully maps out continued growth in commercial air service by relocating GA and FBO activities to the north side of the airport. These plans are incorporated into PGD AviEx.
