Tallahassee Regional Airport will have its formal opening today of a self-serve general aviation fuel station and the expanded north-south runway.
The fueling facility was a joint project with fixed-base operator Million Air, which provides services for private pilots. Aircraft owners and pilots now have a chance to reduce their fuel costs. The self-serve aviation gas is $1.15 per gallon less than the normal full-service price.
Pilots and aircraft owners are also urged to attend the 11 a.m. ceremony for a second reason — completion of the airport’s extended north-south runway, which is the airstrip closest to the general aviation facilities at TLH.
The airstrip construction lengthened the runway from 6,070 feet to 7,000 feet, rehabilitated critical spans of airfield pavement, and upgraded the runway’s instrument landing system with the latest in all-weather landing capability.
