Located seven miles south of the central business district of Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a primary hub for many commercial airliners. As a result, Hartsfield-Jackson is one of the busiest airports in the world. With over 70 international destinations and nonstop global flights, the airport serves more than 80 million travelers annually. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is known regionally as the Atlanta Airport, Hartsfield, and Hartsfield–Jackson. The world’s busiest airport is 7 miles south of downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
ATL holds the dual distinction of both being the busiest in passenger traffic and total aircraft movements since 2005. There are five runways at KATL, and all are parallel and aligned in an east-west configuration:
These three are south of the airport terminals, allowing ATL to make triple simultaneous landings. ATL is one of the few airports able to perform this landing capability. Atlanta also has the highest control tower in the US, reaching 398 feet and allowing air traffic control full view of the runway.
Hartsfield-Jackson Airport can manage an impressive 237 aircraft movements per hour. While the vast majority of these are commercial flights, as at almost every airport, there are facilities for private jets.
On the commercial side, Hartsfield Jackson has nonstop global flights to more than 150 domestic and 70+ international airports. You can depart Atlanta and fly directly to Europe, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and South and Central America. Atlanta was the first airport in the world to have more than 100 million passengers travel through its gates in a year. The airport is the state of George’s largest employer, with more than 63,000 on-site jobs. The commercial terminal and concourse spaces total 6,800,000 square feet and contain 200 passenger gates.
The single FBO at Atlanta offers a private terminal building, U.S. Customs on-site, ground transportation, rental cars, catering, and a full complement of passenger services. Aircraft services include fueling, maintenance, parking, deicing, weather station, and all line services.
