@ Ed….the question should be, does the City and County know how to grow the Airport. Obviously, the answer is no.

Does the City and County really want the Airport to grow, Please tell me what major airport has only a two lane rode leading up to it? The city or county should have stepped up and had Capital Cir. four or six laned from I-10 Years ago.

As a retired Air Traffic Controller/Supervisor/Manager, I do not see TLH being a good choice for a Freight Hub. Without parallel runways, it would be inefficient trying to land and depart more than a 10- plane operation quickly and efficiently. Connie Kalitta tried to open a Freight Forwarding Operation at the Terre Haute, Indiana airport and failed. Terre Haute’s airport and community are similar to Tallahassee. During my career, I worked at two very busy airports with Freight Ops: Anchorage and Indianapolis. Controllers at busy airports are experienced working large volumes of fast-moving jets and dealing with Heavy Jets that create wake turbulence. To be efficient, the air traffic control tower and approach control would need to be open 24 hours. Be careful Tallahassee planners, you may end up with a giant sorting building that was used for one year and now gathers dust.

@ Beth I’m with you that was a super fast cleanup on the China Belt and Road Western Hemisphere domination plan. Fortunately for our elected officials and their compilicant minions everyone will have forgotten about this when China repossess our airport in 2024. Changing the name to “The DongPo International Airport”

Ah that clears it up, Mayor John Dailey wasn’t getting lobbied, he didn’t sign an NDA, and the company isn’t the Chinese state party! I trust all the parties involved, so, I’m sure there’s nothing else to see here. Let’s give them our tax dollars!

I’m glad to hear that The Burrell Group ended their relationship with DongPo Capital.
