History

It all started in 1925. The mayor of Atlanta signed a lease on a piece of land to build an airport on. Eighteen months later, the first flight was a fact. Atlanta airport arrivals came from Tampa and Jacksonville with Florida Airways. There were only regularly scheduled flights a few years later. The piece of land on which the airport is built is bought and the name is changed to Atlanta Municipal Airport.

One of the carriers that is today the main carrier at the airport started operating flights as early as 1930. Delta Airlines operated most of its routes with Eastern Air in the 1930’s. More than ten years after opening, the first control tower was built. The war that started in 1940 turned the airport into military and it was immediately used by the air forces. Due to a rapid increase in passenger flights after the war, it quickly became clear that a new terminal was needed. A hangar was temporarily used to realize the construction of the terminal. Meanwhile, in 1957 more than 2 million passengers passed through the airport.

Jumbo jets

The era of the jumbo jet aircraft started in the 1960’s. The terminal could not cope with the demand at all. The relatively new terminal had a capacity of 6 million passengers, while in 1961 almost 10 million were already using it. The planning committee is carrying out studies to realize a new terminal. Meanwhile, the airport’s name is being changed to William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport. The term “international” first came into the name because of Eastern Airlines flights to destinations in Mexico and Montego Bay. A few years later, construction began on the largest terminal in the world, which opened in 1980.

Extra runway

This new terminal was not enough, a fourth runway was also added. In the year 1994 a special area (Concourse E) was opened for international traffic with the latest technologies. By all its expansions, it became the busiest airport in the world in 1998 with over 73 million passengers.

With an even 5 percent growth in Atlanta arrivals a year later, a new and for the time being the last fifth runway was added. The airport was named in 2003 after a former mayor named Jackson. It has since been called Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and was extensively renovated and innovated in the following years. It has won several awards including best largest airport. A Skytrain and a center for car rental companies opened in 2009. For years it remains the busiest airport in the world. More and more airlines are also coming to use the airport and so more and more flight routes are increasing. In 2015, the airport finally reached 100 million passengers.
