PUNTA GORDA -- Passenger traffic through Punta Gorda Airport is up 70% over the year through November, according to data released by the Charlotte County Airport Authority.

After 11 months, 255,948 passengers have boarded or deplaned at Punta Gorda Airport, data show. At the same time last year, 150,660 passengers had done so.

Further, the airport maintains an outside shot at eclipsing the 300,000 passenger mark by year's end.
