The Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) announced today the installation of a new
freestanding Mamava lactation suite located post-security in Concourse A. Mamava suites are
located in numerous airports and businesses throughout the United States, addressing the need
for privacy and cleanliness for lactating moms on the go. TLH is one of only seven airport
locations in Florida to feature the amenity.
“Here in Tallahassee, we are proud of the work being done to help further strengthen children
and families,” Mayor Andrew Gillum said. “The new nursing suite at Tallahassee International
Airport is yet another example of how this government is supporting our families and provides
an option for new mothers.”
The new unit was provided through a partnership with the Breastfeeding Policy Workgroup, a
collaborative that includes Whole Child Leon, Capital Area Breastfeeding Coalition, Tallahassee
Memorial HealthCare, FSU College of Medicine & Public Health Program and the Leon WIC
Program, among others.
“The Airport is a great location for the Mamava suite and was selected in response to customer
needs and heavy foot traffic. We are extremely appreciative of the donation for this location, as
it supports our core function as a policy-making group dedicated to promoting and supporting
breastfeeding in a clean, comfortable and secure environment,” said Courtney Atkins, executive
director of Whole Child Leon and member of the Breastfeeding Policy Workgroup.
Created by Mamava, a company dedicated to transforming the culture of breastfeeding by
making it easier for more women to achieve their breastfeeding goals, the suite is a self-
contained, mobile pod with comfortable benches, a fold-down table, an electrical outlet for
plugging in a breast pump and a door that can be locked for privacy. The 4-foot by 8-foot pod is
meant for individual use but can fit more than one person, as well as mothers with babies and
other children in tow.
“We’re thrilled to support breastfeeding mamas at the Tallahassee International Airport,” said
Sascha Mayer, co-founder and CEO of Mamava. “We believe that all mamas deserve a clean,
comfortable and dignified place to use a breast pump or breastfeed distraction-free—anywhere,
anytime. Mamava pods provide flexibility for facilities and easy access for moms.”

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
