USA. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International was the world’s busiest airport in 2014, for the 17th year in a row. Atlanta handled 96.1 million passengers, up by +1.85% on 2013.
“Hartsfield-Jackson is proud to remain the world’s busiest airport,” said Aviation General Manager Miguel Southwell. “In addition to offering world-class airport amenities, Atlanta is home to the country’s best attractions and provides a welcoming environment for new and established businesses. It’s our hope that more people coming through Atlanta will go home and tell their families, tell their neighbours, tell their friends and give others a compelling reason to come here.”
“Over the past 17 years, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has led the world in terms of passenger traffic, last year connecting more than 96 million people to destinations around the globe and contributing billions to the local Atlanta economy,” said Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) President and CEO Kevin Burke. “This achievement is a testament to ATL’s exceptional operational efficiency, an essential for any modern and competitive airport.
“Congratulations to Miguel Southwell and the entire ATL team, and we look forward to helping North American airports reach new heights in the years to come.”
