About Atlanta
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the primary international airport serving Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It has been the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic since 1998, serving over 100 million passengers annually in most years. It is the primary hub of Delta Air Lines and is a focus city for low-cost carriers like Frontier and Southwest.
The airport uses a layout with the terminals and concourses arranged parallel to one another, perpendicular to the runways. This efficient design allows for simultaneous takeoffs and landings on its five parallel runways. Passengers are moved between the seven concourses by the "Plane Train," an automated people mover system located in underground tunnels.
Located 7 miles (11 km) south of downtown Atlanta, it is the largest employer in the state of Georgia. Its strategic location means it is within a two-hour flight of 80% of the United States population. The airport continues to expand, recently adding the international Concourse F to handle the growing global demand.
