Final Executive SummaryINTRODUCTIONPunta Gorda Airport (the Airport) is an importanttransportation and economic asset for Charlotte Countyand the surrounding region. It provides low-cost, non-stopair service to approximately 40 destinations in the UnitedStates and is one of the fastest growing airports in theUnited States in terms of passengers served. This growthhas resulted in significant economic benefits to CharlotteCounty in terms of jobs and visitor spending. It is projectedthat these benefits will increase in future years as theAirport gains additional flights and obtains air service toadditional destinations.All forecasts are subject to variances regarding levelsand timing, therefore the study also established andused Passenger Activity Levels (PALs) to assess futurerequirements for passenger related facilities such as thepassenger terminal, parking and terminal access roads.These PAL’s provide airport management with the dataneeded to respond to various levels of demand regardlessof when they actually occur.The goal of the Master Plan Update is to provide theAuthority with a flexible plan that guides future developmentin a cost effective and responsible manner. The MasterPlan Update consists of a technical report and a separategroup of drawings that is referred to as an Airport LayoutPlan drawing set. These drawings depict all developmentproposed by the Master Plan Update in accordance withdesign standards established by the Federal AviationAdministration (FAA). The drawing set must be reviewedand approved by the FAA before the development depictedon the plans can become eligible for Federal funding. FAAapproval of the drawings indicates that the agency findsthe proposed airport development to be safe, efficientand designed in accordance with the agency’s designstandards.The Airport also accommodates the operationalrequirements of approximately 400 general aviation aircraftbased at the airfield. These aircraft serve the business,training and personal use needs of pilots in CharlotteCounty and surrounding communities.In addition to serving aviation uses, the airport is also hometo numerous non-aviation businesses that provide jobs,income and services to residents of Charlotte County andthe surrounding area. These businesses contribute to theeconomic growth of the region.In response to the Airport’s growth, the Charlotte CountyAirport Authority (the Authority) initiated a Master PlanUpdate to ensure that the Airport can proactively addressand accommodate demands placed on the facility duringthe next twenty-years. This master plan update examinesexisting facilities and projects future needs based uponforecasts of passengers, aircraft operations and basedaircraft.The findings of the Master Plan Update are summarized onthe following pages. Readers interested in the details of theplan should refer to the technical report that fully explainsthe rationale for all proposed development. Readers mayalso refer to the ALP drawing set to see detailed illustrationsof all proposed development.1

Final Executive SummaryStudy FundingAircraft OperationsAn aircraft operation is defined as one takeoff or onelanding. A forecast of aircraft operations is used to assessthe ability of the airfield to accommodate future demandwithout experiencing excessive delay. The forecast wasalso used to assess demand for items related to aircraftoperations such as itinerant aircraft parking aprons andfueling facilities.The Master Plan Update was funded through grants fromthe FAA’s Airport Improvement Program, the FloridaDepartment of Transportation’s (FDOT’s) Aviation GrantProgram and airport funds. No general tax revenues wereused in the preparation of this study.ForecastsThe forecast estimates that aircraft operations will increasefrom approximately 68,000 in 2016 to 74,000 in 2036. Thisrepresents an average annual growth rate of 0.5 percent.While this growth rate is low, it is reasonable in the contextof recent growth rates for aircraft operations at the Airport.The basis for the development proposed by the MasterPlan Update are forecasts of future passengers, aircraftoperations and the number of general aviation aircraftbased at the Airport. New forecasts were not developed forthe study. The study used the FAA’s projections of activityfor each of these items. The FAA’s forecast is referred to asthe Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) and is described below.Passenger EnplanementsA forecast of passenger enplanements is used to assessthe capacity of existing passenger related facilities and todetermine the facilities required to meet future demand.The forecast indicates that passenger enplanements areprojected to increase from approximately 589,000 in 2016to approximately 841,000 in 2036. This represents anaverage annual growth rate of 2.1 percent.Based AircraftA forecast of based aircraft was used to assess thedemand for facilities used by general aviation aircraft. Thisincludes items such as hangars and aircraft ramp. TheTAF estimates that future based aircraft will grow to 430 by2036. The majority of general aviation aircraft are small,single-engine aircraft with smaller percentages of multiengine and jet aircraft.This is a very conservative growth rate in comparison to therecent growth of passengers at the Airport. Therefore, theplan’s analyses related to passenger facilities used PALsthat extended up 950,000 annual passengers. This enabledthe study to account for future passenger volumes higherthan projected by the TAF.2

Final Executive SummarySTUDY FINDINGSThe findings of the Master Plan Update are summarized onthe following pages.Airfield Facilities The existing airfield has sufficient capacity toaccommodate projected volumes of aircraft operationsthrough 2036 without encountering unacceptablelevels of delay. The condition of existing pavements on Runway 4-22and Runway 15-33 do not meet FDOT’s recommendedminimum service levels and should be rehabilitated tobring them up to good condition. Non-destructive pavement testing conducted by theFDOT in 2015 and destructive testing conducted by theAuthority in 2017 indicate that a portion of Runway 4-22will require reconstruction due to a loss of structuralstrength in the runway’s subbase. Furthermore,destructive testing is recommended to confirm theresults of previous tests and determine the degree andamount of runway reconstruction required. A reconstruction of Runway 4-22 will require it to beclosed for a duration that will be determined duringdesign, but will likely be in the range of six to ninemonths. This will require air carrier operations thatcurrently occur on Runway 4-22 to be shifted toRunway 15-33 in order to maintain air carrier serviceat the Airport. A 593-foot extension is recommended on the southend of Runway 15-33 to provide an operational lengthof between 6,000 and 6,200 feet that is capable ofsupporting existing air carrier operations at the Airport 3during the period that Runway 4-22 is closed forreconstruction. A rehabilitation of Runway 15-33 is alsorecommended in conjunction with this extension tobring its pavements up to excellent condition.A 720-foot extension is recommended on the north endof Runway 4-22 to provide an operational length of 7,920feet in order to accommodate the future operationalrequirements of air carriers currently serving the Airport.The timing for this runway extension will depend uponair service decisions by air carriers serving the Airport.The acquisition of 45 acres of adjoining land is proposedin conjunction with or prior to this extension. This willprovide the Authority control of land that should beprotected from incompatible land uses within the runwayprotection zone.A rehabilitation of Runway 9-27 is recommended tomaintain its pavement in good condition. This projectwill not be eligible for FAA funding and therefore, willneed to be funded through airport cash reserves orother sources.Several taxiway improvements are recommended tobring existing taxiways into compliance with FAA designstandards.Holding bays are recommended near the approach endof Runway 22, as well as the approach end of Runway4 and 33 to accommodate aircraft engine run-ups andpre-flight activities without delaying the movement ofother aircraft.The rehabilitation of taxiway pavements is recommendedon an as-needed basis to keep them in good operationalcondition and in compliance with FDOT recommendedminimum service levels.

Final Executive Summary The construction of an airfield perimeter road isrecommended for emergency vehicle access, as wellas safety and security patrols by airport operationspersonnel. This road will ensure access to the perimeterof the Airport during periods when saturated soilconditions make access to these areas difficult orimpossible by vehicles that do not have four-wheel drive. Wetland mitigation is recommended to mitigatepotentially hazardous wildlife attractants. Theseprojects will fulfill the recommendations of a previouslycompleted Wildlife Hazard Mitigation Plan. Terminal Area Projects An expansion of the passenger terminal isrecommended, when needed, to accommodate growthof passengers. It is recommended that this expansionoccur in a north-south orientation consistent with theterminal’s current layout. This will minimize impacts toother facilities and minimize walking distance to aircraftparking positions. Variations of the terminal alternatives provide for arelocation of rental car facilities inside the passengerterminal and the creation of additional rental car parking.The plan recommends the construction of a 50-spaceparking lot at the southwest corner of Viking Avenueand Golf Course Boulevard for cell phone usersawaiting arriving passengers and TransportationNetwork Companies (TNC) drivers, such as Uber andLyft.An expansion of the air carrier ramp is recommendedin conjunction with a realignment of Taxiway F. Thisexpansion would provide space for one additional aircarrier parking position.General Aviation Projects In conjunction with an expansion of the passengerterminal, the Master Plan Update recommends arealignment and expansion of the terminal curbfrontroadway. This will increase the amount of terminal curbavailable for loading and unloading of passengers andtheir baggage.Several expansions of parking facilities are recommended,as needed, to accommodate projected growth indemand. These expansions include short-term, longterm and rental car parking. Expansions should occur atlocations within walking distance first and then continuein areas that require shuttle services to more remotelocations. 4The plan includes the construction of a new generalaviation center at the north end of the Airport betweenRunway 9-27 and Challenger Road. This facility willenable the relocation of the current general aviationcenter and will allow the existing passenger terminal tobe expanded to the south in the future. The plan alsorecommends the construction of associated aircraftparking apron on the airside, as well as parking androadway access on the landside.In conjunction with the preceding project, the planrecommends the relocation of the existing self-servefuel facility to the apron of the new general aviationcenter.

Final Executive Summary The construction of a new apron and taxiway access fora future flight school is recommended by the plan. Theapron would provide sufficient space to accommodate26 small general aviation aircraft. The plan recommends two additional phases of aprogram to replace bi-fold doors on existing hangars.A total of 22 hangar doors will be replaced in eachphase. Rehabilitation of the North Ramp and the South Rampis recommended to bring pavements up to excellentcondition.The plan identifies suitable sites for the constructionof up to 7 conventional hangars based upon tenantdemand. These hangars could be constructed east ofthe proposed flight schools aprons along ChallengerRoad. Access to these hangars could be provided via acommon taxilane.New access from Challenger Road to the 600 SeriesT-Hangars is recommended to replace existing accessvia Henry Street that will be closed for Runway 15-33safety area improvements.Support Facility ProjectsThe construction of replacement hangars isrecommended by the plan for hangar facilities that willbe displaced by terminal curb roadway and/or parkinglot expansions. These hangars will be constructed westof the 600 Series T-hangars. Three additional aprons for small future flight schoolsare recommended. Each ramp would provideapproximately 11,000 square yards of pavement andwould provide aircraft tie-downs for approximately 10aircraft. Construction of additional rows of T-hangars isrecommended on the basis of demand and anassessment of their economic viability. The planidentifies suitable locations for these additionalT-hangars north of the 600 Series T-hangars and southof 200 Series T-hangars. 5The construction of a new 5,000 square footmaintenance facility is recommended. This buildingwill have high entrance bays that can properlyaccommodate existing airfield vehicles and providesufficient storage for airport equipment.The plan recommends the construction of a new firestation devoted solely to airport operations as opposedto the current joint use station which also servesCharlotte County Fire / Emergency Medical Services.The plan recommends the construction of office spaceto accommodate and centralize all airport safetyand security functions that will function as a base ofoperations for the day-to-day safety and securityneeds of the Airport. The space will also operate as anEmergency Operations Center and would be locatedadjacent to the current Airport Authority building.

Final Executive SummaryRECOMMENDED PLANShort-Term ProjectsThe Capital Improvement Plan for the Airport is organizedinto Short-Term (2018 through 2022), Intermediate-Term(2023 through 2027) and Long-Term (2028 through 2037)periods. Projects proposed for each phase are intendedto meet existing or projected shortfalls in the capacity ofexisting facilities or to improve the condition of facilities.Deviations from the levels of demand identified by thestudy may require certain projects to be moved into earlieror later phases. Changes to project phasing may alsoresult from changes in the priorities of tenants and/or theAuthority. The total cost of the plan is approximately 165million in 2017 dollars. The following paragraphs describethe recommended plan.Project priorities in the short-term (2018 to 2022) includea focus on the rehabilitation and reconstruction of airfieldpavements including the runway extension needed toaccomplish subsequent projects, a relocation of theexisting general aviation center to the north side of theairfield, the construction of new facilities for flight schools,the construction of high priority terminal area improvementssuch as additional automobile parking, wetland mitigationprojects and various hangar projects.Short-term projects are listed in the following table alongwith their estimated costs.
