Phase Two culminated with the opening of the PGD Air Center in August. The first phase, completed this spring, added 510,000 square feet of ramp space and extended Taxiway E. Airport executives are working to make the area a bustling hub for further general aviation activity and an economic development engine for the entire region. The $18 million endeavor, referred to as PGD AviEx, is being executed in three phases on an otherwise largely undeveloped tract of land on the north side of the airfield.
By relocating existing general aviation and FBO activities away from the main terminal area, the airport also will relieve congestion and create more room for commercial airliners. A major expansion project catering to the needs of general aviation traffic is well underway at Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) in southwestern Florida.
