ATLANTA — Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport welcomed 104.7 million passengers in 2023, an 11.7 percent increase from the previous year.

“ATL’s success is Atlanta’s success and being home to the world’s busiest airport underscores our city’s economic vitality,” Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said in a release. “It is a testament to our global connectivity and an affirmation of our city’s place on the world stage. This accolade celebrates not just the Airport’s success but the collective spirit and hard work of every individual who contributes to our city’s lifeblood, and my vision of Moving Atlanta Forward.”

The numbers are from the latest Airport Council International (ACI) world airport rankings and are based on the preliminary compilation of their World Airport Traffic Dataset.

“Securing the title of the world’s busiest airport once again is credited to the dedication and passion of the entire ATL team,” Airport General Manager Balram “B” Bheodari said in a news release. “Our shared vision of One Team, and our relentless pursuit of excellence keep us at the pinnacle of global aviation. Every takeoff, every landing, and every passenger served is a chapter in our ongoing story of success and service.”
