Tallahassee International Airport (IATA: TLH, ICAO: KTLH, FAA LID: TLH) is a public airport located about 5 miles (8 km) southwest of downtown Tallahassee in Leon County, Florida, United States. Owned and operated by the City of Tallahassee, it serves as the primary airport for Florida's capital city and the surrounding Big Bend region. Despite its designation as an "international airport", TLH currently does not offer scheduled international passenger flights. The international status was granted in 2015 following the installation of a federal customs and border protection facility, enabling it to handle international cargo and charter flights.

As of 2026, the airport provides commercial passenger service through several major airlines, including American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines, offering nonstop flights to key hubs such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Miami. With annual passenger traffic averaging between 850,000 and 900,000, Tallahassee International Airport ranks as one of the smaller commercial airports in Florida, yet remains a crucial transportation hub for the northern part of the state.

TLH covers 2,485 acres (1,006 hectares) and features two asphalt runways: Runway 9/27, measuring 8,000 feet (2,438 meters), and Runway 18/36, measuring 7,000 feet (2,134 meters). The airport accommodates commercial flights, cargo operations, general aviation, and military use. It also supports flight training programs affiliated with local educational institutions, including Tallahassee Community College and Florida State University.

The airport also serves a vital role in regional emergency management, often functioning as a staging area for hurricane relief and other disaster response efforts due to its inland location and proximity to the Gulf Coast. Economically, TLH supports thousands of jobs in the region and contributes millions of dollars annually to the local economy through passenger travel, cargo operations, and associated businesses.
