Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (IATA: ATL, ICAO: KATL, FAA LID: ATL), known locally as Atlanta Airport, Hartsfield Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson is located seven miles (11 km) south of the central business district of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It has been the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic as well as landings and take-offs.[2] Additionally, Delta Air Lines operates the world's largest airline hub from the airport. AirTran Airways also operates its largest hub at the airport. The airport is the primary hub of Delta Air Lines, AirTran Airways, Delta Connection, and Atlantic Southeast Airlines. The airport has 180 gates.

Hartsfield held its ranking as the world's busiest airport in 2006, both in terms of passengers and number of flights, by accommodating 84.8 million passengers and 976,447 flights respectively.[3] Many of these flights are domestic flights from within the United States where Atlanta serves as a major transfer point for flights to and from smaller cities throughout the Southern United States. Fifty-seven percent of Hartsfield-Jackson's airport passengers do not stay in Atlanta but go on connection flights elsewhere.[citation needed] As an international gateway to the United States, Hartsfield-Jackson ranks seventh; John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City is first.[4] However, the airport is increasingly becoming a major gateway for passengers boarding flights for other countries. In the first half of 2007 Atlanta's airport had one of the fastest rates of international passenger growth in the nation with international traffic jumping 12.5 percent over the first six months of the previous year. More than 1.96 million passengers boarded international flights at Hartsfield-Jackson from January through June of 2007, ranking it No. 2 in the nation behind Miami International Airport for the total number of international enplanements.[5]

The Atlanta airport has more nonstop flights and destinations than any airline hub in the world. It serves 243 nonstop destinations, including 72 international destinations in 45 countries. [6] Hartsfield-Jackson is one of only a few airports that can perform triple simultaneous landings.[citation needed]

The airport is located partly within the city of College Park, Georgia, which is south of the city limits of Atlanta, but is located mostly in unincorporated areas in Fulton and Clayton counties; the city limits of College Park, East Point, and Hapeville extend to the airport grounds.

Air traffic controllers for tower and ground control operations referring to the letter "D" use the word "Dixie" instead of "Delta" to avoid confusion with Delta Air Lines aircraft.[citation needed]

The airport employs approximately 55,300 airline, ground transportation, concessionaire, security, federal government, City of Atlanta and Airport tenant employees and is considered the largest employment center in the State of Georgia. With a payroll of $2.4 billion, the airport has a direct and indirect economic impact of $5.6 billion on the local and regional economy and a total annual, regional economic impact of more than $18.7 billion.[7]

[edit] History

Hartsfield-Jackson had its beginnings with a five-year, rent free lease on 287 acres (1.2 km²) that had been the home of an abandoned auto racetrack. The lease was signed on April 16, 1925 by Mayor Walter Sims, who committed the city to develop it into an airfield. As part of the agreement, the property was renamed Candler Field after its former owner, Coca-Cola tycoon and former Atlanta mayor Asa Candler. The first flight into Candler Field was on September 15, 1926, a Florida Airways mail plane flying from Jacksonville. In May 1928, Pitcairn Aviation began service to Atlanta, followed in June 1930 by Delta Air Service. Later these two airlines, known as Eastern Air Lines and Delta Air Lines, respectively, would both use Atlanta as their chief hubs.

Candler Field's first control tower was opened March 1939 and in October 1940 the U.S. government declared it an air base. During World War II, the airport doubled in size and set a record of 1,700 takeoffs and landings in a single day, making it the nation's busiest airport in terms of flight operation.

In 1946 Candler Field was renamed Atlanta Municipal Airport. In 1948, more than one million passengers passed through a war surplus hangar that served as a terminal building. On June 1, 1956 an Eastern Airlines flight to Montreal, Canada was the first international flight out of Atlanta. In 1957, Atlanta had their first jet flight: a Sud Aviation Caravelle from Washington D.C. That same year, work on a new terminal began to help alleviate congestion. Atlanta was the busiest airport in the country with more than two million passengers passing through that year and, between noon and 2 p.m. each day, it became the busiest airport in the world.

On May 3, 1961, the new $21 million terminal opened, the largest in the country, being able to accommodate over six million travelers a year. The new airport was stretched past its capacity the very first year when nine and half million people passed though. In 1967, the city of Atlanta and the airlines began to work on a master plan for future development of Atlanta Municipal Airport.

Construction was begun on the present midfield terminal in January 1977 under the administration of Mayor Maynard Jackson. It was the largest construction project in the South, costing $500 million. Named for former Atlanta mayor William Berry Hartsfield, who did much to promote air travel, William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport opened on September 21, 1980, on-time and under budget[citation needed]. It was designed to accommodate up to 55 million passengers per year and covered 2.5 million square feet (230,000 m²). In December 1984 a 9000-foot (3 km) fourth parallel runway was completed, and another runway was extended to 11,889 feet (3.6 km) the following year.

In May 2001, construction of a fifth runway (10-28) began. It was completed and opened in May 2006.[8] It was added to help ease some of the traffic problems caused by landing small- and mid-size aircraft on the longer runways which are also used by larger planes such as the Boeing 777, which generally require longer takeoff distances than the smaller planes.

In 2003, Atlanta's city council voted on October 20 to change the name from Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport to the current Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, in honor of former mayor Maynard Jackson, the first African-American mayor of Atlanta, who had died on June 23, 2003. The council had initially planned on renaming the airport solely for Mayor Jackson, but public outcry, especially by Mayor Hartsfield's descendants, prompted the compromise.

[edit] Layout

Hartsfield-Jackson International is the chief hub to Delta Air Lines and mostly handles air traffic to other parts of the United States and Canada. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport has international service to North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. It has two terminals where passengers check in, the North Terminal and the South Terminal (in reality, these are just the north and south sides of one large building, and not two separate terminals). The middle part of this building is the so-called main terminal, used for security screening, before passengers head to their aircraft concourses. Airside concourses are arranged successively in distance from the terminal as Concourses T, A, B, C and D and E (the international terminal, which was opened in 1996 in time for the summer Olympic games). All concourses are accessible via the underground train and intermittent moving sidewalks.

Six concourses exist for passenger boarding. Moving sidewalks and an underground "people mover" train made by Adtranz (Now acquired by Bombardier) consisting of C-100 and CX-100 vehicles that connect the concourses, and the terminals building. Concourse T is attached to the terminal, and was formerly for international flights, before Concourse E was built prior to the 1996 Centennial Summer Olympics. The train has a recorded female voice that identifies each stop using the NATO phonetic alphabet: "The next station is Concourse B. Concourse B as in 'Bravo'." However, Concourse D is referred to as "'D' as in 'David'" rather than the correct "'D' as in 'Delta'", to avoid confusion with Delta Air Lines, which operates out of all six concourses.

There are no moving sidewalks within the concourses themselves. Escalators are located in the middle of each concourse that lead down to a people-mover station and moving side walks linking each concourse.

Hartsfield-Jackson also has its own train station on the city's rapid transit system, MARTA. The above-ground station is inside in the main building, between the north and south terminals on the west end. Built as part of the airport, it was not connected until the south line could be extended to it in 1988. It is currently the southernmost point on MARTA, though there are talks of adding a second station for a planned second terminal. This could possibly be a substitute for adding a second people-mover.

[edit] Expansion

In 1999, Hartsfield-Jackson's leadership established the Hartsfield-Jackson Development Program: "Focus On the Future" involving multiple construction projects with the intention of preparing the airport to handle a projected demand of 121 million passengers in 2015. The program was originally budgeted at $5.4 billion over a ten-year period, but due to project delays and increased construction costs, the total is now projected at over $9 billion.[9]

The first of the projects undertaken, the airport's fifth runway, opened on May 27, 2006. It bridges Interstate 285 (the Perimeter) on the south side of the airport. The massive project, which involved putting fill dirt eleven stories high in some places, destroyed some surrounding neighborhoods, and families will only be able to visit two cemeteries on the property occasionally. At the cost of $1.28 billion, this 9,000-foot runway is the first runway added to the Atlanta airport since 1984. The fifth runway is expected to increase the capacity for landings and take-offs by 40%, from an average of 184 flights per hour to 237 flights per hour[10].

Along with the construction of the fifth runway, a new control tower was built to see the entire length of the runway. The new control tower is the tallest airport control tower in the United States, with a height of over 398 feet. The old control tower, 585 feet away from the new control tower, was demolished August 5, 2006.

In July 2003, current Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin announced a new terminal to be named the Maynard Holbrook Jackson, Jr. International Terminal. The new international terminal would be built on the east side of the airport near International Concourse E. It would add ten new gates able to hold wide-body jets, plus check-in desks and a baggage claim area for international carriers. The new terminal will be connected to Terminal E by the people mover system and will also have new ground transportation access from I-75[11] It was slated to open in 2006, however time and cost overruns led general manager Ben DeCosta to cancel the design contract in August 2005. The very next day the company sued the airport claiming "fraud" and "bad faith", blaming the airport authority for the problems.[12] Recently, Ben DeCosta awarded a new design contract on the new international terminal to Gateway Designers. Current estimates place the terminal's cost at $1.4 billion with a projected delivery in 2011.[9]

Also scheduled to be completed after the new international terminal and concourse is a new terminal south of the current terminals. The new terminal is expected to include up to 70 gates [13]. The project is currently known as the South Gate Complex, and is estimated to cost around $1.8 billion. The new terminal will be connected to the main terminal by an expanded automated people mover system.

The Consolidated Rental Car (CONRAC) facility, scheduled for completion by early 2009, will house all ten current airport rental agencies with capacity for additional companies. An automated people mover (using Mitsubishi Crystal Mover) will connect the facility to the airport and to the Gateway Center of the Georgia International Convention Center. A four-lane roadway will also be built to connect CONRAC to the existing airport road network.[14]

The thirty-five year old runway 8R-26L was rehabbed and reopened on November 4, 2006.

An "end-around taxiway", officially named Taxiway Victor, which opened in April 2007, is expected to save an estimated $26 million to $30 million in fuel by allowing airplanes landing on the northernmost runway to taxi to the gate area without hindering other aircraft taking off. The taxiway drops approximately 30 feet from the runway elevation to allow takeoffs to continue.[15]

[edit] Maynard Holbrook Jackson, Jr. International Terminal

This terminal is currently under construction, with completion scheduled for 2011.[9] It will be located on the east side of the airport, near Delta Air Lines' Technical Operations Center (TechOps), on a site that has been occupied by air cargo facilities and the midfield control tower. The airport transit system will be extended to connect to the new terminal. Unlike the present situation, arriving international passengers whose final destination is Atlanta will be able to retain possession of their baggage as they proceed to exit the airport.

[edit] South Gate Complex

The South Gate Complex is scheduled to be built after completion of the East International Terminal. This new terminal is planned to have up to 70 gates.[16] No official name for the terminal has been announced as of yet. Construction has not yet begun on the South Gate Complex as of 2007.

[edit] Accidents and incidents

[edit] Accidents at the airport

  • None

[edit] Incidents

  • On June 8, 1995 Valujet Flight 597 suffered a catastrophic engine failure on the runway.
  • On November 29, 2000 Airtran Airways Flight 956 executed an emergency landing shortly after takeoff, due to an electrical fire.
  • On January 12, 2007, a stowaway was found dead on board a Delta Air Lines jet in the wheel well after arriving in Atlanta from Dakar, Senegal.[20]

[edit] Accidents en route

[edit] Chemical spills

At the beginning of January 2002, the antifreeze used for deicing during snow overflowed from the drainage system into a stream. Because the airport is built over the beginning point of the Flint River, one of the major rivers in Georgia, it ended up in water systems which supply drinking water downstream. The problem was fixed before the next winter, though as of 2007 it has not snowed again enough to give it a significant real-life test.

[edit] Security incidents

On November 16, 2001, a man left the secure area to retrieve his camera bag, which he had left behind, and then tried to bypass the wait at the security checkpoint by running the wrong way down the escalators at the secure area's exit. As a result, the entire airport was evacuated, including all aircraft, and operations halted for three hours.[21]

[edit] Criminal activity

From December 2006 to March 2007 there have been 30 arrests for indecent exposure involving reported sex acts in airport bathrooms.[22] Several high profile arrests have been made, including an advisor for the CDC, a Spelman College professor, and the Chairman of the MARTA board of directors.[23]

[edit] Other notes

As a result of the Southeastern U.S. drought of 2007, the airport (the eighth-largest water user in the state) has made changes to reduce water usage. This includes adjusting toilets, of which there are 725 commodes and 338 urinals, in addition to 601 sinks. (The two terminals alone use 917,000 gallons or about 3.5 million liters each day in average.) It also suspended the practice of using firetrucks to spray water over aircraft when the pilot made a last landing before retirement (a water salute).[1][2] The city of Macon offered to sell water to the airport, through a proposed pipeline.[3]
