Charlotte County Airport (IATA: PGD, ICAO: KPGD, FAA LID: PGD) is a public airport located 3 mi (5 km) southeast of the central business district of Punta Gorda, in Charlotte County, Florida, United States. It is owned by the Charlotte County Airport Authority.
Charlotte County Airport has mainly been used anywhere from deplanements of single engine planes to small jet aircraft and is home to the Florida International Air Show, an annual event which has featured various military demonstration teams, such as the United States Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the "Blue Angels"; the "U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds"; and the United States Army's "Sky Soldiers" (173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team) Cobra helicopter team.
Charlotte County Airport has serviced several commercial airline tenants throughout its existence, but saw no major commercial operations after the early 1980s in the aftermath of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. Commercial operations again commenced at PGD in 2007 when both Skybus Airlines and DayJet began providing flights to and from the airport. Service by these airlines, however, proved to be temporary at best. The larger of the two airlines, Skybus, ceased operations on April 5, 2008, citing a lack of monetary capital to sustain further service. DayJet followed suit on September 19, 2008, citing similar reasons.
Beginning on November 22, 2008, Direct Air, operating brand new Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft from Sir Richard Branson's US airline venture Virgin America, initiated significant commercial service out of PGD, providing a total of eight flights a week from the airport.
On December 2, 2008 low-cost airline Allegiant Air announced it will open a new focus city at PGD. On March 5, 2009 Allegiant started service with McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft to Greenville, SC and on the following day, March 6, began service to McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, TN. Allegiant offers 4 flights a week out of PGD: 2 to Knoxville, and 2 to Greenville. Airlines and destinations

World War II
In 1941, just prior to the beginning of World War II, the US Army Corps of Engineers planned and constructed an airfield on the current airport property as a combat pilot training base for the US Army Air Forces' Third Air Force, naming the facility Punta Gorda Army Airfield. By 1944, the base reached its peak in housing 1,000 personnel, including two squadrons of student pilots.
The base initially had forty Curtis P-40 Warhawk aircraft assigned, later transitioning to the North American P-51 Mustang aircraft. Pursuit (i.e., "fighter") aircraft training in the P-40 and P-51 represented advanced phase training for Army Air Forces fighter pilots prior to their being deployed with USAAF operational units in the European and Pacific Theaters of Operation. Punta Gorda Army Airfield was a subordinate command of 3rd Air Force, 3rd Fighter Command at Drew Field (now Tampa International Airport), and also had C-45 Expeditor and C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft assigned for support purposes.
All base officers and some senior non-commissioned officers lived in Punta Gorda, while all student officers and most enlisted men lived in tent structures on the base. Semi-permanent buildings included an operations headquarters, classrooms, supply building, fire station, dispensary, chapel and the control tower. The base also had nose dock hangars, where just the nose of the aircraft was under shelter for repairs.
Following the war, the US Government issued a Deed of Release transferring all of the fixtures and improvements situated on the property to the local jursidiction of Charlotte County.
