Hartsfield International Airport:

Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is the world’s second busiest airport in passenger volume.  Sixty-eight million passengers passed through Hartsfield Atlanta during 1997.

Hartsfield is served by 30 passenger carriers, including 16 domestic carriers and 12 foreign flag carriers.  An additional 16 passenger airlines maintain off-line offices in Atlanta, and 20 all-cargo airlines operate here.

Over 80 percent of the U.S. market is within a two-hour flight time of Hartsfield.

Hartsfield offers more than 1,100 daily flights, including 58 international flights serving 36 international destinations to 28 countries worldwide. The airport is only ten miles southwest of Atlanta’s central business district and offers easy access to all of the major interstates, which connect Atlanta with the rest of Georgia and the nation.

The Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) offers rail service to the airport, with an average travel time of 15 minutes from downtown to the main terminal at Hartsfield.

In 1997, the ninth year in a row, worldwide travelers rated Hartsfield the best airport in North America with a focus on superior baggage handling, on time arrivals and departures, and passport handling.

At Hartsfield, aircraft can land in inclement weather conditions which otherwise require inconvenient and expensive diversions to alternate airports.  The Federal Aviation Administration permits such operations at only two other U.S. airports, both on the West Coast.

Hartsfield is also a major air cargo center, handling over 864,000 metric ton in 1997.
