Gainesville Regional Airport is pleased to announce that wireless and wired high-speed Internet access is provided in the terminal and public areas as a no-cost amenity to travelers. During regular business hours, the Administration Office offers fax services and a photocopy machine for a nominal fee.

The initial construction of the Airport was done by the Work Progress Administration early in 1941. At the time, and upon conclusion of the construction by the U. S. Engineer Department, the field was known as the Alachua Army Airfield and was used by the Army Air Corp and the Army Air Forces.

On March 2, 1942, the City Council, by City Ordinance No. 295, established the name of the airfield as the "John R. Alison Airport." The Airport was deeded to the City of Gainesville in 1948. At that time, the field was known as the John R. Alison Airport and also as the Gainesville Municipal Airport. The City operated, maintained and improved the Airport over the years as the Gainesville Municipal Airport.

In order to recognize the role the Airport carries in meeting the regional demands for aviation services, the Airport was renamed the Gainesville Regional Airport in October, 1977. The terminal was dedicated to "John R. Alison" in 1979.
