Tallahassee Regional Airport is a public airport owned and operated by the
City of Tallahassee, Florida and serves all of the major aspects of aviation including military, scheduled air cargo operations, general aviation, corporate aviation, light aircraft training, commercial, and a wide variety of other business-oriented and private general aviation activities. The Airport facility is located on a 2,743 acre site, seven miles southwest of the city's central business district and within the corporate city limits. The Airport's market service area includes a 100 mile radius, Tallahassee and 32 counties in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Established in the start of the 20th Century, the City of Tallahassee opened its first municipal airport, Dale Mabry Field. Dale Mabry Field actually had a one grass landing strip, yet with the introduction of the United States Army’s fighter pilot training school, Dale Mabry Field was upgraded to three actual runways that serviced military and commercial operations until 1961. 1961 brought about a new facility that was intended to accommodate air traffic needs through the 1975, yet did so well it completely handled all of Florida’s capital city transportation needs as well as outlying areas until the late 1980’s. Many airlines serve the Tallahassee Regional Airport including Northwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, US Airways, Continental Airlines, and American Airlines. For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2007, the airport had 100,420 aircraft operations, an average of 275 per day: 51% general aviation, 29% air taxi, 15% military and 4% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 136 aircraft based at this airport: 76% single-engine, 14% multi-engine, 2% jet and 7% helicopter.Tallahassee Regional Airport will continue to serve Florida, Alabama, and Georgia for the rest of the century with your help as well as adequate funding. Commuter Cab serves the Tallahassee Regional Airport faithfully with affordable rates for small businesses and airport commuters.
