Airport hosts 104 million passengers, lands distinction for19th consecutive year |
ATLANTA – Mayor Kasim Reed announced today at his final State of the City breakfast that for the 19th consecutive year -- and in every year during his tenure as mayor -- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) was named the world’s busiest airport. ATL served 104,171,935 passengers in 2016, an increase of 2.64 percent over 2015’s total. ATL also saw 898,356 aircraft operations in 2016, more than any other airport in the United States and, pending final tallies from international airports, likely to be more than any other airport worldwide. “No other airport in the world serves more passengers or handles more aircraft in a more efficient manner than Hartsfield-Jackson,” Mayor Reed said. “And now with our multibillion-dollar capital plan currently underway, ATL is positioned to continue leading the aviation industry in the decades ahead.” “We are proud to be named the world’s busiest airport for the 19th consecutive year,” said Airport General Manager Roosevelt Council, Jr. “This is thanks to the incredible work of our employees and Mayor Reed's leadership. As always, our continued focus will be on the safety and security of everyone at the airport and our efficient operations.” ATL reached the 104.1 million total by hosting 92,696,320 domestic passengers while serving 11,475,615 international passengers.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
