Is fuel available at KTLH?
Tallahassee International Airport carries both 100LL and Jet A fuel types. The attendance schedule at KTLH is listed as all days, all hours, indicating continuous field access. This fuel picture is drawn from traffic and facility data rather than a confirmed fueler schedule, so dispatchers should verify current fuel service hours directly before planning. KTLH's status as a towered, public-use airport in Florida supports regular business aviation fueling needs alongside its runway infrastructure.
Does KTLH have customs clearance onsite?
Tallahassee International Airport does not have customs service onsite. The nearest customs-equipped airport is Jacksonville International, listed under ICAO code KJAX, located approximately 138 nautical miles away.

The asphalt area between taxiways B8 and A12 is designated for helicopter operations only. Beyond taxiway A12 toward the ramp, taxiway Z is restricted to aircraft with a wingspan of 50 feet or less. Dispatchers routing larger aircraft should account for these segment-specific limits.
