Yea, Two concourses, 70+ gates, and 30 million people alone is bigger than 95% of the airports in the country.

I'd favor keeping the airport where it is. Those things generate tremendous racket and very few neighborhoods would want something like that in their backyard.

It would also be a challenge to connect a second airport with Hartsfield.

I am in favor of one airport because it will keep more direct flights. The airport is also important for the south side's economy.

Larger airport=more airport jobs, more hq's moving here, more direct flights for locals, more opportunities for our region,etc

Stop hating....

It looks like the whole HIJA website is down. They must be having technical issues.

I hope it hasn't been hacked.

One of the good things about Hartsfield is that it's close but not too close.

Everytime I travel and meet up with my friends I'm the only person that always have direct flights. While everyone else is waiting on their connecting flight I'm already back in Atlanta
