ATLANTA — A state committee will convene this week and discuss whether the state of Georgia should take over Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s busiest airport. The chances of a state takeover are slim.
“If there wasn’t all these allegations and this cloak of suspicion, we probably wouldn’t have to be having this conversation,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted state Sen. Burt Jones, R-Jackson, as saying.
The airport is mired in controversy, including a secret six-figure deal former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed struck with the former manager of the airport.
