From Atlanta Journal Constitution June 03 2013




Consolidation takes toll on Memphis airport | TribLIVE



The rise of Atlanta's airport into the world's largest hub — followed by the march of airline mergers and capacity cutbacks — eventually left Memphis behind. Today, some concourse stretches at the Memphis airport that once teemed with activity are virtually deserted for portions of the day. After losing a prized route to Amsterdam and others, Memphis International now has just one international passenger flight: a weekly seasonal run to Cancun "




ONE international flight doesn't comport with being an "International Airport" at all...hell I think Birmingham might have 2 ...LOL....mabe

"Delta has drastically downsized its Cincinnati hub, too, and other carriers have cut back in cities such as Nashville, Tenn.; Raleigh, N.C.; St. Louis; and Pittsburgh.
In fact, cutbacks have hit even the bigger hubs that have survived mergers — including Atlanta, which lost some of its international routes after the merger."
