About This Short
Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport — the busiest airport in the world — could be in for a massive transformation.
The city has already approved $310 million for upgrades you’ll notice soon, including:
• A better rental car center
• Upgraded SkyTrain
• Clearer parking signs
• New escalators
On top of that, Atlanta is proposing about $1 billion in additional funding to modernize and expand the entire airport. That means new designs, better flow, and updated terminals that could completely change the way we travel through ATL.
The proposal is expected to move forward in September, and if approved, upgrades will roll out in phases over the next few years. So, Atlanta — if you could improve one thing about our airport, what would it be?
