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.”
