[edit] History
Tallahassee Regional Airport began operation as Tallahassee Municipal Airport with a dedication on April 23, 1961. The flag of the United States was presented to the City of Tallahassee by Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, Chairman of the Board of Eastern Airlines. An aerial demonstration was performed by military aircraft from Fort Rucker, Alabama. Tallahassee Municipal replaced Dale Mabry Field which closed that same year.
Eastern Airlines inaugurated the opening of the airport by ferrying city, state and chamber of commerce officials. Aboard the flight were: Mayor Joe Cordell, State Comptroller Ray Green, City Commissioners Davis Atkinson, George Taff, Hugh Williams, City manager Arvah Hopkins, City clerk-auditor George White, Airport manager Flagg Chittenden, Ernest Menendez, Frank Deller, James Calhoun, John Ward and Jeff Lewis, all of the Chamber of Commerce.

On December 3, 1989, the city opened the existing $33 million, airline passenger terminal.
On February 20, 2000 the passenger terminal was officially renamed the Ivan Munroe Terminal in honor of Tallahassee aviation pioneer Ivan Munroe.
