Tallahassee Regional Airport (TLH) Information

Where is Tallahassee Regional Airport? TLH Tallahassee Regional Airport (IATA: TLH, ICAO: KTLH, FAA LID: TLH) is a city-owned public-use airport located four nautical miles (7 km) southwest of the central business district of Tallahassee, a city in Leon County, Florida, United States.

TLH Tallahassee Regional Airport began operation as Tallahassee Municipal Airport, with a dedication ceremony on April 23, 1961. The flag of the United States was presented to the City of Tallahassee by Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, World War I fighter ace and Chairman of the Board of Eastern Airlines. An aerial demonstration was performed by U.S. Army aircraft from Fort Rucker, Alabama. Tallahassee Municipal replaced Dale Mabry Field which closed that same year.

The FAA and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will possibly allocate a $7.2 million dollars of a grant fund to be put toward planned airport improvements, such as the Ivan Munroe Terminal and the rehabilition of the north gerneral aviation apron. Other future projects include the Fast Track program, to include the widening of the Capital Circle Southwest entry and exit road to airport, internal road network, airport maintenance complex and security improvements. Door replacements and roof repairs are also anticipated to follow.
