PUNTA GORDA — Allegiant Airlines has announced a hiring event at Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) on April 29 and May 3 at the Charlotte County-based airport to fill almost 40 part-time and full-time positions at the growing airport.

The airline hopes its strategy to recruit and fill positions for the budget travel company will help with the increased demand for air travel in Southwest Florida. Allegiant officials announced Friday that the airline is recruiting ground operations agents, passenger assistance agents, aircraft cleaners and other roles.

The two-day hiring event is slated to take place on Saturday, April 29 at the Punta Gorda Airport from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A second day of hiring and interviews will be held from 1 – 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 3. Interested candidates are encouraged to bring resumes and be prepared to interview for positions at the Allegiant Office located next to PGD Airport (8000 Skylane Way, Punta Gorda). Candidates should park directly in front of the building.
