Aéroport de Tallahassee Intl (TLH)
Tallahassee International Airport (IATA: TLH, ICAO: KTLH) serves as the primary aviation gateway for the city of Tallahassee, the capital of the state of Florida, USA. Strategically located just five miles southwest of downtown Tallahassee, this airport connects the region to various national and limited international destinations. The airport's origins date back to 1961 when it opened on a 1,740-acre site that replaced the previous airport at Dale Mabry Field, to accommodate the growing aviation needs of the area.
Over the years, Tallahassee International has evolved from a modest regional airport to an international hub, although the majority of its flights remain domestic. The airport averages around 35-45 daily flights and handles approximately 800,000 passengers annually, serving as a vital link for business travel, tourism, and the local community. Major airlines operating from TLH include American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Silver Airways, offering connections to key cities like Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, and Tampa.
Despite its international designation, TLH primarily caters to domestic flights, though it has infrastructure ready for future international growth. It features a single passenger terminal with modern amenities, including dining options, rental car services, and ample parking facilities, to ensure a convenient travel experience. Tallahassee International Airport continues to support the economic development of Tallahassee and the surrounding region, playing an essential role in its connectivity and accessibility.
